Across the 14-hour count, traffic averaged roughly 940 vehicles an hour, 81% of 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 14.1% of vehicle volume, about 18× the typical share. Police have logged an average of 13 collisions a year here over 2016–2025 — 9.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.92× the median rate for counted intersections. The pace has been steady: 63 collisions in 2016–2020 and 62 in 2021–2025. About one in 63 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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 — 14-hour, Aug 19, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 6,120 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 545. Most cyclists arrived from the west (838 of 1,856). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,265 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,061). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 most recent midblock count on Huron St between Dundas St W and Lane N of Dundas and W of Huron (28 m away, Mar 2013) recorded volume only — about 405 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Huron St · Dundas St W – Lane N of Dundas and W of Huron · 28 mMar 2013 · 3 days405
Dundas St W · Lane E of Spadina and S of Dundas – Spadina Ave · 132 mJan 2016 · 7 days6,770

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.
