The latest City count averages about 1,140 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Pedestrians outnumber vehicles 5.8 to 1 — rare for a Toronto intersection, where the median is one pedestrian for every 13 vehicles. Cyclists were 21.6% of vehicle volume, about 28× the typical share. That comes with about 34 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 21.5 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 4.3× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 17%, from 187 in 2016–2020 to 156 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 343 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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, Apr 12, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 4,753 eastbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,445. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,578 vehicles in the hour from 6:45 p.m., 82% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (866). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 counter on Yonge St between Edward St and Gould St (103 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Edward St – Gould St · 103 mJun 2022 · 7 days10,22829 km/h39 km/h46 km/h
Dundas St W · Bay St – Elizabeth St · 298 mMar 2021 · 7 days5,030

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.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 8, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
