Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,700 vehicles, 1.47× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 75 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 43 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 18.2 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.7× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 18%, from 238 in 2016–2020 to 195 in 2021–2025. About one in 217 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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 — 14-hour, Apr 13, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,919 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 3,727 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (50 of 117). Evening rush dominates here: 2,285 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,894 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Islington Ave between Judson St and Evans Ave, 289 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 58 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,000 vehicles a day. Evans Ave between Garroch Pl and Ourland Ave measured slower: 50 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 58 km/h (Apr 2019). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Evans Ave · Garroch Pl – Ourland Ave · 281 mApr 2019 · 3 days10,10550 km/h58 km/h63 km/h
Islington Ave · Judson St – Evans Ave · 289 mSep 2019 · 2 days15,96858 km/h65 km/h70 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 2016, with 59 collisions; 2025 recorded 39. 68 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 41 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 26 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 27, 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

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 2, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 4. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.
