Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 980 vehicles, 84% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 1.8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 10.1% of vehicle volume, about 13× the typical share. That comes with about 10 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. The pace has been steady: 49 collisions in 2016–2020 and 51 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 100 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Feb 8, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,674 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 73 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (436 of 791). Evening rush dominates here: 1,178 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,082 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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 Markham St between Lane N of College and E of Markham and Ulster St, 241 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Bathurst St (142 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 680 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Markham Street between College St and Dundas St W.

Traffic calming

  • Markham Street · College St – Dundas St W
    6 speed humps

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.
