Cyclists were 12.1% of vehicle volume, about 16× the typical share. On average 7.6 collisions a year were reported here in 2016–2025 — 4.4 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections.

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, Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,824 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 2,658 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (921 of 2,083). Evening rush dominates here: 1,660 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,362 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Dundas St E between Brooklyn Ave and Lane E of Brooklyn and S of Dundas, 231 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Jones Ave · Lane N of Queen and W of Jones – Mallon Ave · 86 mApr 2013 · 3 days2,788
Dundas St E · Brooklyn Ave – Lane E of Brooklyn and S of Dundas · 231 mJun 2022 · 7 days14,41739 km/h45 km/h49 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
