Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,001 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 3,426 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,059 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,626 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,626 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,059 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2019, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 15 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 31, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 28, 2008.

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 Eastern Ave between Lane W of Pape and N of Eastern and Pape Ave, 173 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Carlaw Ave between Kit Hood Lane and Queen St E measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jun 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (259 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 91,875 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Carlaw Ave (southbound), 259 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 34 km/h, 85th percentile 41 km/h; 21% at 40 km/h or more. 91,875 vehicles logged in August 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.

Within a kilometre there are 14 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 703 rental units — 12 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 502 Eastern Ave (153 m, 19 units, 5 storeys, built 1989), which scored 91 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 14 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

14 registered buildings · 703 units · 12 social housing · tallest 6 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.

15 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 53% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 South Riverdale.
