Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 20 vehicles, 1% of the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.6 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 31.4% of vehicle volume, about 41× the typical share. That comes with about 1.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade. Just one of those 13 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 — 8-hour, Sep 19, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The south leg carries the load — 73 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 31. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 20 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 19 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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 Poulett St between Shuter St and Coatsworth St (120 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 0 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Poulett St · Shuter St – Coatsworth St · 120 mAug 2001 · 3 days2625 km/h35 km/h46 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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