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, Dec 3, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,575 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 2,386 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the east (171 of 399). Evening rush dominates here: 1,906 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 970 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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. The count is 4 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 Jarvis St between Gerrard St E and Allan Gardens Trl, 22 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2021 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day. Gerrard St E between Church St and Mutual St measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2026). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Jarvis St · Gerrard St E – Allan Gardens Trl · 22 mMay 2021 · 3 days4,77035 km/h45 km/h53 km/h
Gerrard St E · Church St – Mutual St · 159 mAug 2026 · 14 days16,88827 km/h37 km/h42 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.

All police-reported collisions

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

The worst year was 2023, with 46 collisions; 2025 recorded 43. 45 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 25 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 2, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 11, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. 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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
