Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 5,114 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 101. Most cyclists arrived from the east (431 of 893). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,083 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 972 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,083 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 972 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 (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 33% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 24% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 17, 2020.

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

The City's counter on Carroll St between Matilda St and Doris Anderson Crt (243 m away) recorded an average of 20 km/h in its 7-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 29 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 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.

17 registered apartment buildings with 1,640 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 15 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 50 Matilda St (237 m, 56 units, 4 storeys, built 2008), which scored 95 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 17 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

17 registered buildings · 1,640 units · 15 social housing · tallest 29 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 11 thefts from vehicles and 19 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.0 a year. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 53% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 5, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see South Riverdale.
