Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 3.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 52%, from 23 in 2016–2020 to 11 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 34 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Jan 23, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,325 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 282 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (64 of 130). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,131 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,072 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 Annette St between Clendenan Ave and Laws St, 185 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more.

Traffic calming

    4 speed humps

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.
