The latest City count averages about 2,780 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 2.4× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 634 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 30 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions fell 18%, from 165 in 2016–2020 to 135 in 2021–2025. About one in 150 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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 — 8-hour, Apr 29, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,172 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 2,642 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,860 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,399 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 The West Mall between Sherway Dr and The Queensway (8 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 12,120 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The West Mall · Sherway Dr – The Queensway · 8 mApr 2010 · 3 days12,120
The Queensway · North Queen St – The West Mall · 30 mSep 2012 · 3 days23,177

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

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.
