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 — 8-hour, Jan 25, 2020 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,933 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 106 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 655 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 232 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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 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 most recent midblock count on Shuter St between Poulett St and Parliament St (82 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 6,289 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Berkeley Street between Shuter St and Carlton St.

Traffic calming

  • Berkeley Street · Shuter St – Carlton St
    9 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.

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 Jun 17, 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

Ten thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.3 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 86% of the bike thefts were from other premises.
