Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Lake Shore Blvd E & Lower Jarvis St — 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 Lake Shore & Lower 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.

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).

Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 12, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 19,968 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 2,336 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the south (164 of 369). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,108 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 24% above the afternoon peak from 7:00 p.m. (2,502). Trucks and buses were 7.9% 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 22 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 Lower Jarvis St between Lakeshore W and Wilton St, 175 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake Shore Blvd E · Cooper St – John M Tinsley St · 158 m | May 2011 · 24 h | 10,774 | — | — | — |
| Lower Jarvis St · Lakeshore W – Wilton St · 175 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 23,560 | 30 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 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 195 collisions; 2025 recorded 109. 165 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 152 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 59 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the nine serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, three were fatal. 5 pedestrians, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 5 of the 9 happened in darkness — 56%, above the citywide 39%. 2023 alone accounted for 2 of them. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Jul 15, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 16.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 0.26 KSI collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 9 | #1 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 3 | #2 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 5 | #2 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #16 of 271 |

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | 1 cyclist · latest Jul 15, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 16 | latest Jul 15, 2026 |
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
Two thefts from vehicles and nine bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 19, 2025. 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.
