Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
77 registered apartment buildings with 5,921 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection.

None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

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 — 8-hour, Mar 8, 2022
The south leg carries the load — 8,778 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 90. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,538 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,576 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
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 Avenue Rd between Balmoral Ave and Foxbar Rd (137 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 19,000 vehicles a day. Farnham Ave between Woodlawn Ave W and Avenue Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2022). 15 speed humps slow traffic on Farnham Avenue between Avenue Rd and Yonge St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farnham Ave · Woodlawn Ave W – Avenue Rd · 112 m | Oct 2022 · 3 days | 2,953 | 30 km/h | 37 km/h | 40 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Farnham Avenue · Avenue Rd – Yonge St
15 speed humps
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
2023 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 6% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with 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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 28, 2018.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #652 of 1,505 |

| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Sep 28, 2018 |
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 21, 2022. 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.
