Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 30, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 8,846 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,271. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,781 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,585). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,585 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,781 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

2023 was the peak year (43 collisions), and 2025 closed with 28. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 41 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 28 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 5, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on Jul 31, 2026.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on King St W between Beaty Boulevard Parkette Trl and Triller Ave (296 m away, Nov 2015) recorded volume only — about 14,018 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Queen St W (335 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 7,069 vehicles logged in July 2025 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Queen St W (eastbound), 335 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 7 km/h, 85th percentile 21 km/h; 0.0% at 50 km/h or more. 7,069 vehicles logged in July 2025; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

58 registered apartment buildings with 3,043 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, nine of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.9× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1623 Queen St W (85 m, 42 units, 4 storeys, built 1922), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

58 registered buildings · 3,043 units · 9 social housing · tallest 22 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 three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.2 a year. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Feb 9, 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 Roncesvalles.
