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, May 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 6,282 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,101. Most cyclists arrived from the north (1,456 of 2,644). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,299 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,159 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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 Yonge St between Roxborough St E and Roxborough St W (21 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. 10 speed humps slow traffic on Roxborough Street West between Avenue Rd and Yonge St (installed 2002).

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
