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, Jun 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,512 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 2 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,886 of 5,556). Evening rush dominates here: 2,214 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,744 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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

On Spadina Ave between Oxley St and Adelaide St W, 154 m from the corner, a 5-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bulwer St (233 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,378 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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

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 Jul 13, 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

21 thefts from vehicles and 35 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 9.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 9, 2026.
