Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,140 vehicles, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.1 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 9.6% of vehicle volume, about 12× the typical share. That comes with about 12 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 7.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.51× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged up 5%, from 58 in 2016–2020 to 61 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 119 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 Dundas St W between Bloor St W and Edna Ave (330 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 10,460 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.
