Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Queen St W & Strachan Ave — 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 & Strachan, 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
Within a kilometre there are 20 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,292 rental units — seven social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 15 Gore Vale Ave (177 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1926), which scored 45 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 20 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

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, Jul 2, 2022 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,943 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,194 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,154 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 551 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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.
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
On Strachan Ave between Adelaide St W and Richmond St W, 175 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2018 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen St W · Gore Vale Ave – Strachan Ave · 71 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 20,724 | — | — | — |
| Strachan Ave · Adelaide St W – Richmond St W · 175 m | Jun 2018 · 7 days | 6,624 | 35 km/h | 43 km/h | 48 km/h |
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
The worst year was 2024, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 13. 16 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (15%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 25, 2015.
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
Nine thefts from vehicles and 16 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 9 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (5), house driveway/garage (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 28, 2025. 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.
