Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 27, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,334 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 31 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 898 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 729 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 729 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 898 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 worst year was 2024, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 6 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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 British Columbia Rd between Yukon Pl and Lakeshore W (120 m away, Jun 1998) recorded volume only — about 5,726 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.

Within a kilometre there are 26 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,376 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1 Springhurst Ave (540 m, 41 units, 5 storeys, built 1962), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

26 registered buildings · 2,376 units · 1 social housing · tallest 23 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.

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

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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
