The latest City count averages about 810 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 70% 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 16.3% of vehicle volume, about 21× the typical share. That comes with about 14 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 12.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.4× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 16%, from 74 in 2016–2020 to 62 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 6,081 northbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 17. Most cyclists arrived from the east (817 of 1,845). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 895 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 920 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 counter on Parliament St between Distillery Lane and Gristmill Lane (47 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. Mill St between Trinity St and Cherry St measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Aug 2020).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Parliament St · Distillery Lane – Gristmill Lane · 47 mApr 2025 · 3 days12,85931 km/h43 km/h49 km/h
Mill St · Trinity St – Cherry St · 303 mAug 2020 · 3 days2,17229 km/h39 km/h47 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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place 25 thefts from vehicles and 27 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 8.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 6.1 a year before that. 68% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 52% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
