Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Bay St & Adelaide St W — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Adelaide & Bay, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

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, Jul 3, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 9,100 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6,051. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,643 of 4,132). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,715 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,769 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 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 Bay St between Lane S of Adelaide and E of Bay and Adelaide St W (22 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 5-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 8,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bay St · Lane S of Adelaide and E of Bay – Adelaide St W · 22 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 8,142 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 km/h |
| Adelaide St W · University Ave – Simcoe St · 398 m | Sep 2012 · 3 days | 18,260 | — | — | — |
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
2017 was the peak year (53 collisions), and 2025 closed with 21. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 23, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |

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

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 25, 2026.
