Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at King St W & Strachan Ave — 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 & Strachan, 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.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). 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, Jan 16, 2024
The south leg carries the load — 5,153 northbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,239. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,581 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,438). Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years 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
The City's counter on Strachan Ave between East Liberty St and Wellington St W (265 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| King St W · Walnut Ave – Stanley Ter · 208 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 21,450 | — | — | — |
| Strachan Ave · East Liberty St – Wellington St W · 265 m | Nov 2022 · 3 days | 10,058 | 33 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 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
2016 was the peak year (24 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 23, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |

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
Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year

| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (4) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 14, 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.
