Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, May 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,383 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,437. Most cyclists arrived from the north (1,161 of 2,176). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 868 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 867 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% 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 Yorkville Ave between Bellair St and Hazelton Ave (393 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Yonge St between Scollard St and Davenport Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Scollard St – Davenport Rd · 100 mJun 2023 · 24 h7,29728 km/h37 km/h43 km/h
Yorkville Ave · Bellair St – Hazelton Ave · 393 mNov 2021 · 3 days5,16841 km/h49 km/h55 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.

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 17 thefts from vehicles and 69 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 14× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
