Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,309 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 86% of the total, against 537 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,398 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 918 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 918 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,398 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 30 collisions. 34 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Jun 21, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Speeds here, last measured in 2017

On Adelaide St E between Parliament St and Power St, 44 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2017 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are 42 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 5,592 rental units, 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection — 32 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 501 Adelaide St E (283 m, 180 units, 13 storeys, built 2009), which scored 90 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

42 registered buildings · 5,592 units · 32 social housing · tallest 29 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Moss Park.
