Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,560 vehicles, 1.35× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 16 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 7.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.43× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged up 7%, from 75 in 2016–2020 to 80 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 155 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 — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 6,309 northbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,674. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,970 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,719). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Mortimer Ave between Durant Ave and Coxwell Ave (84 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 11,700 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Coxwell Ave (85 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.9% of the 139,151 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
