Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 10, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,704 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,075 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,018 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m., 17% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (871). Trucks and buses were 8.8% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Parliament St between Distillery Lane and Gristmill Lane, 342 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King St E · Berkeley St – Parliament St · 58 mNov 2015 · 7 days9,368
Parliament St · Distillery Lane – Gristmill Lane · 342 mApr 2025 · 3 days12,85931 km/h43 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 13 collisions. 13 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 11, 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 22, 2014.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and 13 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.8 a year. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 54% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
