Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Queens Park & Queens Park Cres W — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Charles & Queen's Park, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
85 registered apartment buildings with 10,078 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 131 Bloor St W (189 m, 157 units, 14 storeys, built 1963), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 85 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 192 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 96 fire-code violations are open across them.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). 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 — 8-hour, Apr 17, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 8,541 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,199. Most cyclists arrived from the south (141 of 272). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,397 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 2,126 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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
The City's counter on Charles St W between St Thomas St and Queen's Park (131 m away) recorded an average of 23 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen's Park · Charles St W – Bloor St W · 85 m | Sep 2019 · 7 days | 16,874 | — | — | — |
| Charles St W · St Thomas St – Queen's Park · 131 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 1,413 | 23 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 km/h |
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
2023 was the peak year (25 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 19, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 26, 2011.
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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 11 thefts from vehicles and 22 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 4.0 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 45% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 11 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (11) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 9, 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 Bay-Cloverhill.
