Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 2,270 vehicles, 1.96× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 40 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 15 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.8 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 20%, from 84 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 151 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Oct 29, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,080 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 5,506 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,221 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,919 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On North Queen St between Medulla Ave and The East Mall, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 58 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The East Mall · North Queen St – Coronet Rd · 134 mApr 2010 · 3 days7,415
North Queen St · Medulla Ave – The East Mall · 167 mJun 2023 · 3 days15,40258 km/h67 km/h73 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
