Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,560 vehicles, 1.35× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 8 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 8.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions edged down 13%, from 45 in 2016–2020 to 39 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 12, 2017

The west leg carries the load — 6,422 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 387. Most cyclists arrived from the west (45 of 95). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,065 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,756). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Indian Trl between Lane W of Alhambra and S of Indian Trl and Indian Rd (153 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Indian Rd between Lane S of Bloor and W of Indian Rd and Bloor St W measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Aug 2024). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St W (390 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 25, 2007.

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 12 thefts from vehicles and 14 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 58% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 7, 2026.
