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, Jul 17, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 3,051 westbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 416. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 713 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (569). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Blue Jays Way between Front St W and Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way (100 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 8,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Wellington St W · Windsor St – Blue Jays Way · 53 mApr 2010 · 3 days7,181
Blue Jays Way · Front St W – Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way · 100 mJun 2022 · 7 days8,18232 km/h42 km/h48 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

2019 was the peak year (28 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 36 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 9, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 30, 2011.

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 26 thefts from vehicles and 15 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.1 a year. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 60% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 3, 2026.
