Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 2, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 3,554 westbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 847. Most cyclists arrived from the west (354 of 821). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,224 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,319 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 1,224 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,319 from 4:00 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 27 collisions. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Jul 12, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 calming

Dovercourt Road (Queen St W – Sudbury St): 3 speed humps

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.

17 registered apartment buildings with 1,892 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 55 Lisgar St (152 m, 116 units, 9 storeys, built 2005), which scored 96 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 17 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

17 registered buildings · 1,892 units · 6 social housing · tallest 18 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 15 thefts from vehicles and 15 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.0 a year. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 47% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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.
