The latest City count averages about 1,290 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 1.8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 11.7% of vehicle volume, about 15× the typical share. That comes with about 22 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 12.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.4× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 37%, from 134 in 2016–2020 to 84 in 2021–2025. About one in 109 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, Oct 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,828 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,705 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (932 of 2,109). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,491 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,567 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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.
