Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 100 vehicles, 8% of the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 5.3 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 28.8% of vehicle volume, about 37× the typical share. That comes with about 3.6 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 26.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 5.3× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 29%, from 21 in 2016–2020 to 15 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 11, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 718 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 9. Most cyclists arrived from the north (172 of 394). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 181 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 83% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (99). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 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 Pearl St between Simcoe St and Ed Mirvish Way (85 m away) recorded an average of 21 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pearl St · Simcoe St – Ed Mirvish Way · 85 mJun 2018 · 7 days1,17521 km/h33 km/h39 km/h

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2018 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 0% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 1, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
