Annette & High Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 28, 2009

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,594 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 1,425 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,575 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,659 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,575 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,659 from 4:30 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 worst year was 2017, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 7 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 20, 2015.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

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 16 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,061 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 340 High Park Ave (308 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1940), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

16 registered buildings · 3,061 units · 3 social housing · tallest 30 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 71% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 Junction Area.
