Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 30 vehicles, 3% of the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.2 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 21.5% of vehicle volume, about 28× the typical share. That comes with about 0.6 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade.

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, Apr 18, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 146 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 59% of the total, against 101 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 40 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 33 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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

On Marjory Ave between Lane N of Dagmar and W of Marjory and Austin Ave, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2020 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Austin Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Austin and Marjory Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2005). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Austin Ave · Lane E of Pape and S of Austin – Marjory Ave · 97 mApr 2005 · 3 days19430 km/h39 km/h45 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.

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

Nine thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 44% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
