Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,170 vehicles, about the citywide median. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 2.6% of vehicle volume, about 3.3× the typical share. That comes with about 2 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 1.2 per 10,000 counted vehicles, below the median rate of 5.0. Collisions fell 46%, from 13 in 2016–2020 to 7 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 — 14-hour, Jun 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 8,679 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 463. Most cyclists arrived from the west (217 of 423). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,357 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,425 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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 Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl (327 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bloor St W · Cosmo Rd – Tom Riley Park Trl · 327 mMay 2026 · 3 days18,68738 km/h48 km/h53 km/h

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

2017 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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
