Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Jarvis St & King St E — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for King & Jarvis, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 59 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 7,317 rental units, 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — 38 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 90 Adelaide St E (214 m, 60 units, 8 storeys, built 1980), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 59 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 79 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 40 fire-code violations are open across them.

LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Jarvis St between King St E and St. James Park Trl, 73 m from the corner, a 5-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| King St E · St. James Park Trl – Jarvis St · 18 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 5,902 | — | — | — |
| Jarvis St · King St E – St. James Park Trl · 73 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 6,805 | 30 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
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.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 13, 2023. 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.
