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 — 14-hour, Jul 23, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 5,708 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,292. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,048 vehicles in the hour from 6:15 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,476). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's most recent midblock count on Queen St W between Bathurst St and Markham St (49 m away, Nov 2019) recorded volume only — about 8,256 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Queen St W · Bathurst St – Markham St · 49 mNov 2019 · 4 days8,256
Bathurst St · King St W – Browns Lane · 342 mMay 2015 · 7 days12,163

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

2018 was the peak year (64 collisions), and 2025 closed with 49. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 68 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 6 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 21, 2013.

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

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 10 in 2023–2025, about 3.3 a year, against 2.3 a year before that. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 76% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 7 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 2026.
