The latest City count averages about 760 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 66% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 3.0 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 17.0% of vehicle volume, about 22× the typical share. That comes with about 6.7 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions rose 58%, from 26 in 2016–2020 to 41 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 67 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Aug 27, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,838 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 11 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (815 of 1,821). Evening rush dominates here: 1,111 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 722 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% 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 Pembroke St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 132 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 32 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 37 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pembroke St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 132 mMay 2026 · 3 days74822 km/h32 km/h37 km/h
Dundas St E · Jarvis St – George St · 171 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.
