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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 15, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,002 eastbound vehicles, or 64% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 26. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 284 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 278 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 14.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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

The City's counter on Geary Ave between Westmoreland Ave N and Salem Ave N (252 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Delaware Ave between Lane N of Hallam and E of Delaware and Lane S of Dupont and E of Dovercourt measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Geary Ave · Westmoreland Ave N – Salem Ave N · 252 mJan 2020 · 3 days5,17539 km/h47 km/h52 km/h
Delaware Ave · Lane N of Hallam and E of Delaware – Lane S of Dupont and E of Dovercourt · 262 mNov 2021 · 3 days40226 km/h35 km/h40 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection 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. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
