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 — 8-hour, Apr 19, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,148 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 294 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (241 of 474). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 939 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 945 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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

On George St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 98 m from the corner, a 7-day count in February 2001 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dundas St E · Jarvis St – George St · 47 mMar 2021 · 7 days4,288
George St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 98 mFeb 2001 · 7 days69136 km/h45 km/h51 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

The worst year was 2018, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 14 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 13, 2026.
