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, Apr 2, 2001

The west leg carries the load — 4,921 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 262. Most cyclists arrived from the east (131 of 248). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,677 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,527). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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 Dalhousie St between Dundas St E and Frank Natale Lane (19 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dalhousie St · Dundas St E – Frank Natale Lane · 19 mMay 2004 · 3 days87625 km/h37 km/h44 km/h
Dundas St E · Jarvis St – George St · 213 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.

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 30 thefts from vehicles and 35 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 11× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 6.5 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 37% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 2, 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.
