Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Adelaide St W & Simcoe St — 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 & Simcoe, 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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
23 registered apartment buildings with 3,892 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 12 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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, 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 16,183 vehicles. 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 most recent midblock count on Simcoe St between Richmond St W and Lane S of Queen and W of Simcoe (168 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 3,388 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simcoe St · Richmond St W – Lane S of Queen and W of Simcoe · 168 m | Jun 2007 · 3 days | 3,388 | — | — | — |
| Adelaide St W · Duncan St – John St · 238 m | Sep 2013 · 3 days | 15,632 | — | — | — |
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 (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, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 20, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
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.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #100 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #98 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest May 31, 2024 |
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 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.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 12, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through 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.
