The latest City count averages about 1,600 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.39× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 2.8 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 6.8% of vehicle volume, about 8.8× the typical share. That comes with about 25 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 11.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.2× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 43%, from 157 in 2016–2020 to 89 in 2021–2025. About one in 82 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 8,856 southbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,930. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,893 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,944 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 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 counter on Jarvis St between King St E and St. James Park Trl (305 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 5-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Queen St E · Jarvis St – George St · 49 mMar 2021 · 7 days4,240
Jarvis St · King St E – St. James Park Trl · 305 mSep 2021 · 5 days6,80530 km/h42 km/h48 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.
