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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,290 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,149 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,403 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:00 p.m., against 1,245 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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

On Yonge St between Irwin Ave and Isabella St, 361 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,200 vehicles a day. Bloor St E between Church St and St Paul's Sq measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2026).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bloor St E · Church St – St Paul's Sq · 339 mAug 2026 · 7 days20,22427 km/h37 km/h41 km/h
Yonge St · Irwin Ave – Isabella St · 361 mOct 2025 · 3 days14,16227 km/h38 km/h43 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

Killed or seriously injured

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
