Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,000 vehicles, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.6 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 2.2% of vehicle volume, about 2.8× the typical share. That comes with about 11 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 7.6 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.53× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 32%, from 63 in 2016–2020 to 43 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 106 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,336 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,398 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,319 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,261 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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 Dundas St W between Mavety St and Medland St, 163 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 35 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 9,700 vehicles a day. Pacific Ave between Lane N of Annette and W of Pacific and Lane S of Dundas and E of Pacific measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Oct 2024). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Annette St (359 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 142,944 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
