The latest City count averages about 970 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 84% 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 4.4% of vehicle volume, about 5.6× the typical share. That comes with about 8.8 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 17%, from 48 in 2016–2020 to 40 in 2021–2025. About one in 44 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,940 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 468. Most cyclists arrived from the east (179 of 337). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,089 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,119 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 Woodycrest Ave between Danforth Ave and Lane N of Danforth and W of Woodycrest (21 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Woodycrest Avenue between Selkirk St and Danforth Ave.

Traffic calming

    5 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.
