Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,380 vehicles, 1.20× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 7 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13.

Collisions fell 16%, from 43 in 2016–2020 to 36 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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 22, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,695 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 1 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (36 of 57). Evening rush dominates here: 1,847 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,236 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Beachell St between Eglinton Ave E and Luella St, 103 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2026 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on 96 Mason Rd (310 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 24,841 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

11 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
