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, May 27, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 6,106 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 507. Most cyclists arrived from the north (52 of 129). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,309 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,134). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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.

How fast traffic moves 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Apr 18, 2015.

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

Toronto Police place 27 thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.3 a year. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 83% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
