Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,600 vehicles, 1.38× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 4 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 4.4 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions fell 17%, from 24 in 2016–2020 to 20 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 44 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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 9, 1989

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,138 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 586 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,772 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,471 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 37 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1989, 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 most recent midblock count on Spadina Ave between Sullivan St and Grange Ave (64 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 12,357 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Bulwer St (312 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,378 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
