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 — 8-hour, Jun 21, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,239 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,286. Most cyclists arrived from the north (726 of 1,333). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,125 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,210 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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.

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 Yonge St between Roxborough St E and Roxborough St W (124 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Roxborough St E – Roxborough St W · 124 mJun 2023 · 24 h9,51332 km/h42 km/h47 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

2016 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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 Oct 11, 2012.

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 five thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 40% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 76% of the bike thefts were from transit property. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 3, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
