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, Dec 9, 2015

The north leg carries the load — 1,569 southbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 950. Morning rush is the busier period: 860 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 748 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 counter on St George St between Bernard Ave and Admiral Rd (107 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. Bernard Ave between Admiral Rd and St George St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (May 2019). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (307 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 29,792 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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 13 thefts from vehicles and 27 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 4.4 a year before that. 77% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 63% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
