Cyclists were 12.3% of vehicle volume, about 16× the typical share. Police have logged an average of 23 collisions a year here over 2016–2025 — 15.2 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.1× the median rate for counted intersections. The pace has been steady: 112 collisions in 2016–2020 and 114 in 2021–2025. About one in 113 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,936 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 2,214 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,383 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 1,079 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Bathurst St between Queens Quay W and Lake Shore Blvd W, 337 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2013 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Fort York Blvd · Bathurst St – Iannuzzi St · 51 mDec 2011 · 3 days5,719
Bathurst St · Queens Quay W – Lake Shore Blvd W · 337 mJun 2013 · 3 days5,79832 km/h42 km/h45 km/h

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.
