The latest City count averages about 2,750 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.4× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 36 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.89× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 24%, from 204 in 2016–2020 to 156 in 2021–2025. About one in 180 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, May 12, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 11,815 northbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 8,359. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,292 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,488 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Islington Ave between Van Dusen Blvd and Meadowvale Dr (284 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 11,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bloor St W · Islington Ave – Clissold Rd · 46 mSep 2013 · 11 days12,404
Islington Ave · Van Dusen Blvd – Meadowvale Dr · 284 mMar 2010 · 24 h11,15654 km/h60 km/h65 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.
