Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

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 — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 3,600 and 4,300 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,537 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,616 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.8% 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Carlaw Ave between Kit Hood Lane and Queen St E, 26 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,000 vehicles a day. Queen St E between Pape Ave and Winnifred Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Oct 2004). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (51 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carlaw Ave · Kit Hood Lane – Queen St E · 26 m | Jun 2017 · 24 h | 9,962 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 56 km/h |
| Queen St E · Pape Ave – Winnifred Ave · 318 m | Oct 2004 · 3 days | 480 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 51 m
Carlaw Ave (southbound), 180 Carlaw Avenue · 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2018, with 31 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 35 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 34 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 19, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1265 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest May 19, 2020 |
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
14 thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 22, 2026.
