Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 1,630 vehicles, 1.41× the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 1.3 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 5.3% of vehicle volume, about 6.9× the typical share. That comes with about 50 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 22.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 4.4× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 25%, from 287 in 2016–2020 to 216 in 2021–2025. About one in 168 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, Oct 25, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 7,495 eastbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,330. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,170 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,692). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Glen Elm Ave and Lawton Parkette Trl (381 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 19,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St Clair Ave E · Yonge St – Tamblyn Lane · 29 mJan 2019 · 7 days7,735
Yonge St · Glen Elm Ave – Lawton Parkette Trl · 381 mMay 2026 · 3 days19,59336 km/h43 km/h48 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

2019 was the peak year (70 collisions), and 2025 closed with 43. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 71 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.
