Bloor & Indian (East)

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 12, 2017

The west leg carries the load — 6,422 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 387. Most cyclists arrived from the west (45 of 95). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,065 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,756). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,756 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,065 from 5:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 12 collisions. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 30, 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 Jul 25, 2007.

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

The City's counter on Indian Trl between Lane W of Alhambra and S of Indian Trl and Indian Rd (153 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Indian Rd between Lane S of Bloor and W of Indian Rd and Bloor St W measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Aug 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St W (390 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,997 vehicles logged in April 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Dundas St W (northbound), 390 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 6 km/h, 85th percentile 19 km/h; 0.0% at 50 km/h or more. 5,997 vehicles logged in April 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

37 registered apartment buildings with 6,065 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1643 Bloor St W (104 m, 24 units, 3 storeys, built 1930), which scored 76 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

37 registered buildings · 6,065 units · 7 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.

Toronto Police place 12 thefts from vehicles and 14 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 58% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 7, 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 High Park-Swansea.
