King & Massey

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,055 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the east (428 of 844). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,232 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (838). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 838 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,232 from 5:30 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. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here. The most recent report on file is from Dec 6, 2025.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 21, 2025.

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 2007

The City's counter on Massey St between Lane S of Queen and E of Crawford and Queen St W (353 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 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.

13 registered apartment buildings with 3,068 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 24 Shaw St (368 m, 200 units, 9 storeys, built 1989), which scored 87 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 13 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

13 registered buildings · 3,068 units · 4 social housing · tallest 35 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 two thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 86% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 West Queen West.
