The latest City count averages about 1,030 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 2.3 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 5.0% of vehicle volume, about 6.5× the typical share. That comes with about 1.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 1.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, below the median rate of 5.0. About one in ten of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

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, Nov 13, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,162 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,000 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (353 of 724). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,216 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,250 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 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 Hillsdale Ave W between Lane W of Yonge and N of Hillsdale and Duplex Ave, 117 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2017 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Hillsdale Avenue West between Yonge St and Duplex Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Hillsdale Avenue West · Yonge St – Duplex Ave
    2 speed humps

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.
