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, Oct 9, 2003

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,007 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 396 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 360 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 266 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Bond St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 294 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bond St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 294 mJul 2023 · 2 days1,55025 km/h34 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.

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

The pace has been steady at around 4.2 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 12, 2026.
