The latest City count averages about 1,060 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 1.1 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 42.3% of vehicle volume, about 55× the typical share. That comes with about 11 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 7.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.50× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions rose 62%, from 42 in 2016–2020 to 68 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

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 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,434 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 147 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (3,072 of 6,254). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,146 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,207 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St, 56 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. Manning Ave between Harbord St and Lennox St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (206 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 44,756 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Manning Avenue between Bloor St W and Barton Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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

The worst year was 2023, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 16 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (16%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 27, 2026.

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 Jun 19, 2009.

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
