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, Mar 29, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 2,031 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 405. Most cyclists arrived from the west (106 of 244). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 769 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 53% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (502). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 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.

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 counter on Shuter St between Sackville St and Sumach St (99 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day. Sackville St between Sutton Ave and St David St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Shuter St (110 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 57,521 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
