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 — 14-hour, Apr 17, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 1,400 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3. Most cyclists arrived from the east (232 of 477). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 338 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (248). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 Stadium Rd between Queens Quay W and Bishop Tutu Blvd (48 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. Queens Quay W between Dan Leckie Way and Bathurst St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Stadium Rd · Queens Quay W – Bishop Tutu Blvd · 48 mApr 2013 · 3 days3,15136 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Queens Quay W · Dan Leckie Way – Bathurst St · 314 mMay 2025 · 3 days7,50426 km/h34 km/h38 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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place 19 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 74% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 63% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 25, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
