Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 3.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 26%, from 19 in 2016–2020 to 14 in 2021–2025. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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 — 8-hour, Jul 24, 2000

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,185 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 314 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,043 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 934 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% 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 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2000, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 most recent midblock count on King St E between Berkeley St and Parliament St (143 m away, Nov 2015) recorded volume only — about 9,368 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King St E · Berkeley St – Parliament St · 143 mNov 2015 · 7 days9,368

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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
