Marine Parade & Lake Shore

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 6, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,657 eastbound vehicles, or 83% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 329. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,365 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 954 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 1,365 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 954 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

2024 was the peak year (35 collisions), and 2025 closed with 28. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 15, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 2017

The City's counter on Lake Shore Blvd W between Marine Parade Dr and Lake Shore W (179 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 9,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Marine Parade Dr between Waterfront Dr and Lake Shore Blvd W measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Apr 2017) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 100% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Feb 3, 2026.

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 Humber Bay Shores.
