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, Nov 14, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,207 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 1,278 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (550 of 1,326). Evening rush dominates here: 1,027 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 900 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 3 years 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 Niagara St between Stanley Ave and Adelaide St W, 115 m from the corner, a 14-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,400 vehicles a day. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Niagara Street between King St W and Bathurst St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Niagara St · Stanley Ave – Adelaide St W · 115 m | Sep 2025 · 14 days | 3,432 | 27 km/h | 35 km/h | 40 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Niagara Street · King St W – Bathurst St
6 speed humps
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

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. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 2, 2024.

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.
