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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,896 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 2,958 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,339 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,128 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% 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 is 2 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 Sherbourne St between Shuter St and Dundas St E, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2026 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sherbourne St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 124 mJun 2026 · 3 days10,14532 km/h41 km/h45 km/h
Shuter St · Jarvis St – Walnut Hall Pl · 291 mMar 2021 · 7 days3,046

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 2022, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 20 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 20 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (19%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

95 thefts from vehicles and 41 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 23× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 5, 2026.
