Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,460 vehicles, 1.27× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 1.4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 13.5% of vehicle volume, about 17× the typical share. That comes with about 33 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 16.2 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.3× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 26%, from 191 in 2016–2020 to 141 in 2021–2025. About one in 166 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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,328 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,164 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,221 of 2,758). Evening rush dominates here: 1,806 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,555 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Danforth Ave between Pape Ave and Lane E of Pape and S of Danforth (20 m away, Aug 2015) recorded volume only — about 21,799 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danforth Ave · Pape Ave – Lane E of Pape and S of Danforth · 20 mAug 2015 · 3 days21,799
Pape Ave · Hazelwood Ave – Danforth Ave · 47 mMay 2015 · 3 days8,798

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.
