The latest City count averages about 1,050 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 12.4% of vehicle volume, about 16× the typical share. That comes with about 5.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.7 per 10,000 counted vehicles, below the median rate of 5.0. Collisions rose 70%, from 20 in 2016–2020 to 34 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 54 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,382 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 23 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (951 of 1,823). Evening rush dominates here: 1,251 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,064 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Bloor St W between Perth Ave and Dundas St W, 260 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. Dorval Rd between Bloor St W and Lane N of Bloor and E of Indian Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Nov 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St W (212 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,185 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
