The pace has been steady: 32 collisions in 2016–2020 and 31 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 63 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Feb 12, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,116 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 517 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (39 of 84). Evening rush dominates here: 959 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 465 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Fermanagh Ave between Lane 2 W of Sorauren and S of Fermanagh and Roncesvalles Ave, 147 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. High Park Blvd between Roncesvalles Ave and Sunnyside Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Dec 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (306 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 58,140 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Fermanagh Avenue between High Park Blvd and Sorauren Ave.

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
