Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 25, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,416 southbound vehicles, or 87% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 11. Most cyclists arrived from the north (931 of 1,628). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,027 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,086 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,027 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,086 from 5:45 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

2017 was the peak year (15 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 12% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 counter on Queen's Park Cres W between Hoskin Ave and Queens Pr S (60 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 13,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (399 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 51,004 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

27 registered apartment buildings with 4,614 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2 St Thomas St (544 m, 248 units, 26 storeys, built 2017), which scored 96 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 27 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

27 registered buildings · 4,614 units · 3 social housing · tallest 51 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 one theft from a vehicle and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 73% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property.

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 Bay-Cloverhill.
