Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 3, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,157 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 128 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,496 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 6:45 p.m. (1,382). Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,496 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,382 from 6:45 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 2017, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 10 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 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 2017

On Jarvis St between Adelaide St E and Lombard St, 173 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2017 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 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 32 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,212 rental units, 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — 23 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 90 Adelaide St E (237 m, 60 units, 8 storeys, built 1980), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

32 registered buildings · 4,212 units · 23 social housing · tallest 31 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Moss Park.
