The latest City count averages about 980 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 84% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 3.9% of vehicle volume, about 5.0× the typical share. That comes with about 4.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions edged up 13%, from 23 in 2016–2020 to 26 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 — 8-hour, Dec 9, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,096 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 27 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (169 of 303). Evening rush dominates here: 1,184 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,076 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Lisgar St between Lane N of Afton and E of Beaconsfield and Mackenzie Cres, 172 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 26 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 700 vehicles a day. Rusholme Rd between Lane N of Dundas and W of Rusholme Rd and St Annes Rd measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Sep 2021). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gladstone Ave (261 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. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Lisgar Street between Afton Ave and Rusholme Rd (installed 2005), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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
