The latest City count averages about 300 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 26% of the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 28.7% of vehicle volume, about 37× the typical share. That comes with about 1.5 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — well below the median of 31 for the decade. No one was killed or seriously injured in any of them.

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 — 8-hour, May 5, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,362 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 1,039 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (413 of 690). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 543 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (446). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Huron St between Prince Arthur Ave and Huron Street Playground Trl, 42 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (215 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 29,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 reported at this corner

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