Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 25 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,421 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing.

Three buildings of the 25 scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

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, Sep 15, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,190 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 3,233 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,341 of 2,399). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,078 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,028 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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
On Roxton Rd between Lane S of Bloor and W of Shaw and Bloor St W, 23 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 38 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Roxton Road between Bloor St W and Harbord St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

Traffic calming
- Roxton Road · Bloor St W – Harbord St
5 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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Nine thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 36% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 1, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 1, 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.
