Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 23, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 5,708 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,292. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,048 vehicles in the hour from 6:15 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,476). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,476 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,048 from 6:15 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

2018 was the peak year (64 collisions), and 2025 closed with 49. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 68 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 6 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 21, 2013.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Queen St W between Bathurst St and Markham St (49 m away, Nov 2019) recorded volume only — about 8,256 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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 2,337 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 165 Bathurst St (67 m, 47 units, 6 storeys, built 1918), which scored 79 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 18 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

18 registered buildings · 2,337 units · 10 social housing · tallest 19 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 nine thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 10 in 2023–2025, about 3.3 a year, against 2.3 a year before that. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 76% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 7 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 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 Wellington Place.
