Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, Jul 8, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,472 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 47 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (546 of 1,104). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 917 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 954 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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
On Boulton Ave between Lane N of Dundas and E of Boulton and First Ave, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2025 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 31 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on 722 Gerrard St East (124 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 25,028 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boulton Ave · Lane N of Dundas and E of Boulton – First Ave · 167 m | Mar 2025 · 3 days | 905 | 25 km/h | 31 km/h | 34 km/h |

722 Gerrard St East (westbound), 722/724, Gerrard Street East · 25,028 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 26, 2026.
