The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 7, 2026

The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,761 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,649 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Lake Shore Blvd W between Bathurst St and Stadium Rd, 322 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2021 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd W · Bathurst St – Stadium Rd · 322 mOct 2021 · 24 h17,41760 km/h68 km/h73 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

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

Seven thefts from vehicles and 13 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
