Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 26, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 14,343 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,947. Most cyclists arrived from the south (47 of 97). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,835 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,436). Trucks and buses were 7.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,436 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,835 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

2019 was the peak year (95 collisions), and 2025 closed with 41. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 56 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 29 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Aug 14, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 8.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

The City's counter on Lake Shore Blvd E between Carlaw Ave and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (Id: 60016775) (252 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 72 km/h. That segment carries about 26,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Five registered apartment buildings with 257 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 502 Eastern Ave (548 m, 19 units, 5 storeys, built 1989), which scored 91 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

5 registered buildings · 257 units · 4 social housing · tallest 5 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.

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 88% 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.
