The latest City count averages about 1,840 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.59× the median counted intersection. 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 5.8 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 2.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, below the median rate of 5.0. Collisions edged up 15%, from 27 in 2016–2020 to 31 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 58 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Oct 30, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 11,475 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 784 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,301 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,481 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Mount Pleasant Rd between Elm Ave and Meredith Cres, 74 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more.

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
