Bermondsey & Sunrise

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,911 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,103. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,359 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,165). Trucks and buses were 14.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 1,165 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,359 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

2024 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 29, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Bermondsey Rd between Northline Rd and Sunrise Ave (122 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 8,100 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.

Eight registered apartment buildings with 93 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 1161 O'Connor Dr (792 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1953), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

8 registered buildings · 93 units · tallest 3 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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 O'Connor-Parkview.
