The latest City count averages about 630 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 54% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 13.3% of vehicle volume, about 17× the typical share. That comes with about 2.7 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions edged up 8%, from 13 in 2016–2020 to 14 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, Feb 11, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,158 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,019 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (368 of 670). Evening rush dominates here: 858 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 583 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 D'Arcy St between Beverley St and Huron St, 97 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,100 vehicles a day. Beverley St between D'arcy St and Baldwin St measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on St. Patrick St (350 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 35,769 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

18 thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
