Bloor & Kingsmill

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,284 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 84 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (364 of 643). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,250 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,248 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,250 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,248 from 5:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.
