None of them involved a death or serious injury.

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 25, 2020 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 8,943 westbound vehicles, or 90% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 211. Most cyclists arrived from the east (34 of 53). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,540 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,093). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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.

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 counter on Richmond St E between Ontario St and Berkeley St (59 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. Berkeley St between King St E and Adelaide St E measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Richmond St E · Ontario St – Berkeley St · 59 mOct 2005 · 24 h19,73648 km/h57 km/h64 km/h
Berkeley St · King St E – Adelaide St E · 198 mJun 2018 · 7 days2,10424 km/h33 km/h39 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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 13, 2012.

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 20 thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.9 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 64% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 11, 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.
