Deer Park & St Clair

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 18, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,039 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 244 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (182 of 391). Evening rush dominates here: 1,379 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,200 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,200 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,379 from 3:00 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

The worst year was 2016, with 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 12 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2013

On Deer Park Cres between St Clair Ave W and Delisle Ave, 60 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2013 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 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.

Within a kilometre there are 69 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 5,169 rental units, 4.6× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 80 St Clair Ave W (50 m, 25 units, 4 storeys, built 1926), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

69 registered buildings · 5,169 units · tallest 32 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 71% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Yonge-St.Clair.
