Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Queen St W & Shaw 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 Queen & Shaw, 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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
21 registered apartment buildings with 3,392 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 26, 2019
The west leg carries the load — 4,582 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,770. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,820 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,810 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.
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
The City's counter on Shaw St between Pridham Pl and Lobb Ave (154 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Shaw Street between Queen St W and Dundas St W.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaw St · Pridham Pl – Lobb Ave · 154 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 4,914 | 28 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Shaw Street · Queen St W – Dundas St W
14 speed humps
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
2016 was the peak year (23 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Jun 11, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #152 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #730 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #224 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 0 | 0% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Jun 11, 2023 |
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
Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 19, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 19, 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 West Queen West.
