Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Carlton St & Church St — 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 Church & Carlton, 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.

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, Apr 8, 2025
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 4,802 and 5,659 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,937 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,677 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Church St between Alexander St and Maitland St, 267 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Alexander St (227 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 61,958 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church St · Alexander St – Maitland St · 267 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 6,941 | 30 km/h | 38 km/h | 44 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 227 m
Alexander St (eastbound), 90 Alexander Street · 61,958 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 2016, with 44 collisions; 2025 recorded 29. 44 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 54 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 32 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — 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 9, 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 Aug 12, 2012.
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
16 thefts from vehicles and 97 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 19× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 4, 2026.
