Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 880 vehicles, 76% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 6.5% of vehicle volume, about 8.3× the typical share. That comes with about 8.8 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. The pace has been steady: 44 collisions in 2016–2020 and 44 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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 24, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,743 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 294 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (205 of 453). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 877 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 939 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% 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 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Sumach St between Wyatt Ave and Dundas St E, 35 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2022 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Shuter St (309 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

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

13 thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.0 a year. 85% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
