Bloor & Manning (East)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 25, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,434 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 147 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (3,072 of 6,254). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,146 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,207 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% 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: 1,146 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,207 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).

The worst year was 2023, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 16 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (16%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 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 Jun 19, 2009.

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

On Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St, 56 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Manning Ave between Harbord St and Lennox St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (206 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 41,783 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Manning Avenue between Bloor St W and Barton Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends 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.
