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 — 14-hour, Jul 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,678 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 4,724 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,556 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,273 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months 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 Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St, 221 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. Spadina Rd between Bernard Ave and Dupont St measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Spadina Rd · Bernard Ave – Dupont St · 155 mMay 2025 · 3 days14,97540 km/h48 km/h53 km/h
Dupont St · Lane W of St George and S of Dupont – Huron St · 221 mAug 2004 · 3 days24,34640 km/h50 km/h57 km/h

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 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 20. 15 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jul 17, 2015.

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

Five thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.6 a year. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 55% of the bike thefts were from transit property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 6, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
