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 — 8-hour, Mar 1, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 3,520 eastbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 481. Most cyclists arrived from the east (134 of 271). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 846 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 894 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

The City's counter on Sackville St between Sutton Ave and St David St (178 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Shuter St (308 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 57,521 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 8, 2010.

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

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
