Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 6 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 8.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 5.7 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions rose 27%, from 37 in 2016–2020 to 47 in 2021–2025. About one in 42 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 5, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,100 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 684 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,493 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,341 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Superior Ave between Lane W of Lake Shore and S of Superior and Stanley Ave, 117 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mimico Ave (225 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 126,081 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Superior Avenue between Lake Shore Blvd W and Cavell Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Superior Avenue · Lake Shore Blvd W – Cavell Ave
    4 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
