The latest City count averages about 1,270 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 27 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 16 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.84× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 30%, from 96 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. About one in 82 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,343 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 901 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,714 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,511 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 3 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

On Shorncliffe Rd between Dundas St W and Lockport Ave, 378 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,300 vehicles a day. Dundas St W between Paulart Dr and Billingham Rd measured slower: 56 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 65 km/h (Oct 2019). 8 speed humps slow traffic on Shaver Avenue South between Dundas St W and Bloor St W.

    8 speed humps

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

The worst year was 2017, with 24 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 31 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.
