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, Jul 30, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 2,958 northbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,047. Most cyclists arrived from the north (861 of 1,991). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 778 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (619). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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

The City's counter on Shuter St between Sackville St and Sumach St (327 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. 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 (318 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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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 Nov 24, 2008.

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

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 57% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 8, 2026.
