Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 850 vehicles, 74% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.0 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 12.2% of vehicle volume, about 16× the typical share. That comes with about 12 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.8 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.98× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions rose 34%, from 50 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. About one in 59 of those collisions 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 1, 2026 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,863 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 192 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (749 of 1,458). Evening rush dominates here: 1,120 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:45 p.m., against 732 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Nassau St between Lippincott St and Alley Cat Lane, 75 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Bathurst St (345 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 680 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
