Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 860 vehicles, 75% of the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.1 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. That comes with about 4.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions edged down 12%, from 26 in 2016–2020 to 23 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 49 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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 — 8-hour, Nov 6, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,182 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 244 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 990 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (910). Trucks and buses were 7.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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

On Pape Ave between Canning Ave and Browning Ave, 377 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2017 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pape Ave · Canning Ave – Browning Ave · 377 mAug 2017 · 3 days14,36845 km/h53 km/h58 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.

All police-reported collisions

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

The worst year was 2017, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 7 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 16, 2026.

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
