Indian & Algonquin

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 2, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,157 northbound vehicles, or 69% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 231. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 340 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 67% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (204). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 204 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 340 from 4:00 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

2017 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Algonquin Ave between Indian Rd and Parkside Dr (95 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Indian Rd between Wright Ave and High Park Blvd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (219 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 54,844 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 473 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 109 Indian Rd (90 m, 38 units, 8 storeys, built 1970), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 473 units · 1 social housing · tallest 11 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 four thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 High Park-Swansea.
