Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,160 vehicles, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.3 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 22.7% of vehicle volume, about 29× the typical share. That comes with about 20 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 12.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.5× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 21%, from 112 in 2016–2020 to 88 in 2021–2025. About one in 33 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury. Since January 2026, 2 serious-injury collisions have been recorded here.

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: 5,031 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 3,207 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,381 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,434 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Sherbourne St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2026 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sherbourne St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 124 mJun 2026 · 3 days10,14532 km/h41 km/h45 km/h
Dundas St E · Jarvis St – George St · 270 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.

The last one inside the window was in 2025.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
