The latest City count averages about 1,400 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.21× the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.1 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 13.9% of vehicle volume, about 18× the typical share. That comes with about 22 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 11.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.2× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 39%, from 135 in 2016–2020 to 82 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

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, Oct 15, 2025

Evening rush dominates here: 1,720 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,579 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Dundas St E between Jarvis St and George St (263 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 4,288 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dundas St E · Jarvis St – George St · 263 mMar 2021 · 7 days4,288

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

The worst year was 2016, with 38 collisions; 2025 recorded 24. 32 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 33 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 21 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 17, 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 20, 2011.

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

37 thefts from vehicles and 16 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 8.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 18, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
