Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2026 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,568 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 3,381 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (533 of 1,260). Evening rush dominates here: 1,536 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 1,092 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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: 1,092 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,536 from 6:15 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 2019, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 32 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 26 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2018. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Aug 2, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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

On Front St W between Portland St and Bathurst St, 111 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,100 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.

Within a kilometre there are 18 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,568 rental units — nine social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 39 Niagara St (221 m, 501 units, 19 storeys, built 2019), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 3,568 units · 9 social housing · tallest 46 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.

15 thefts from vehicles and 34 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 8.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 29 in 2023–2025, about 9.7 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 59% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on May 1, 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 Harbourfront-CityPlace.
