Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 980 vehicles, 85% of the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 4 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 5.1% of vehicle volume, about 6.6× the typical share. That comes with about 5.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. The pace has been steady: 26 collisions in 2016–2020 and 27 in 2021–2025. About one in 27 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, Jan 14, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,114 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 266. Most cyclists arrived from the south (160 of 400). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,198 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,182 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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

The City's counter on Roxton Rd between Lane N of College and E of Ossington and Dewson St (122 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Concord Ave (225 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. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Roxton Road between College St and Harbord St, 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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