Hallam & Bartlett

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 14, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 1,182 eastbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 923. Most cyclists arrived from the west (218 of 520). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 394 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (320). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Peak hours: 320 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 394 from 4:15 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

2020 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 8% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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 2021

The City's counter on Hallam St between Bartlett Ave and Gladstone Ave (54 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bartlett Ave between Shanly St and Southview Ave measured slower: 19 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Dec 2021). 9 speed humps slow traffic on Bartlett Avenue between Bloor St W and Hallam St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 490 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 331 Bartlett Ave N (544 m, 13 units, 3 storeys, built 1905), which scored 74 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 7 scored below 70; the average is 82, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

7 registered buildings · 490 units · 1 social housing · tallest 16 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 seven thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 4, 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 Dovercourt Village.
