Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 6,505 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 216. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,412 of 5,005). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,017 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,080 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months 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

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd (137 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Havelock St between Lane S of Bloor and W of Havelock and Bloor St W measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Nov 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 11 speed humps slow traffic on Havelock Street between Bloor St W and College St.

Traffic calming

    11 speed humps

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jul 8, 2010.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
