Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 15, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 10,255 eastbound vehicles, or 82% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3. Most cyclists arrived from the west (3,110 of 4,697). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,066 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,059 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,066 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,059 from 3:45 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

2017 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 17% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on May 31, 2024.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Adelaide St W between Duncan St and John St (238 m away, Sep 2013) recorded volume only — about 15,632 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 1,400 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 20 St Patrick St (425 m, 256 units, 14 storeys, built 1982), which scored 82 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 1,400 units · 7 social housing · tallest 36 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.

Toronto Police place 25 thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 4.0 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 71% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 12, 2026.

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 Wellington Place.
