The latest City count averages about 1,000 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 6 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13.

Collisions rose 36%, from 14 in 2016–2020 to 19 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 — 8-hour, Apr 22, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,948 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 264 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (663 of 1,436). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,141 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,140 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Delaware Ave between College St and Dewson St, 149 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2017 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Concord Ave (153 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 32,260 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
