King & Sudbury

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 2, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,282 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,011. Most cyclists arrived from the west (319 of 747). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 876 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 35% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (651). 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. 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: 651 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 876 from 5:00 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 17 collisions. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 12% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 6, 2015.

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 Sudbury St between King St W and Lane E of Dovercourt and N of Sudbury (151 m away) recorded an average of 22 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 29 km/h.

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.

18 registered apartment buildings with 3,487 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 24 Shaw St (371 m, 200 units, 9 storeys, built 1989), which scored 87 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 18 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 3,487 units · 7 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 19 thefts from vehicles and 19 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 4.9 a year before that. 84% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 42% 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 West Queen West.
