Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 850 vehicles, 73% of the median counted intersection. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 1.4 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 12.0% of vehicle volume, about 16× the typical share. That comes with about 12 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 47%, from 77 in 2016–2020 to 41 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 118 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Jul 5, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,969 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 1,476 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,022 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 787 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Victoria St and Victoria Street Lane (24 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 7,407 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Shuter St · Victoria St – Victoria Street Lane · 24 mApr 2010 · 3 days7,407

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 2016, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 17 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 2026.
