Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 960 vehicles, 83% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 12.8% of vehicle volume, about 17× the typical share. That comes with about 8.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.7 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.34× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged down 7%, from 46 in 2016–2020 to 43 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

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, Jun 25, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,934 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 20 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (758 of 1,715). Evening rush dominates here: 1,247 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,061 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Gladstone Ave between Langemark Ave and Lane S of College and W of Gladstone, 205 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Gladstone Ave (182 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 69,068 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 18 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (15%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 16, 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 25, 2014. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

11 thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 91% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
