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, Sep 20, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 128 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 74. Morning rush is the busier period: 73 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 39 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 Alexander St between Lake Shore Blvd W and Victoria St (85 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2015; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Victoria St between Alexander Park Trl and Alexander St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Mar 2023). The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Alexander Street between Lake Shore Blvd W and Victoria St.

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.
