Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Queens Quay W & Bay St / Harbour Sq — 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 Queens Quay & Bay, 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.

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 — 14-hour, Jun 5, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,170 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 668 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,027 of 4,420). Evening rush dominates here: 1,459 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,319 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Bay St between Bay St N and Lake Shore Blvd W, 195 m from the corner, a 5-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queens Quay W · Yonge St – Bay St · 98 m | Dec 2009 · 3 days | 15,283 | — | — | — |
| Bay St · Bay St N – Lake Shore Blvd W · 195 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 8,388 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 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 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 26. 30 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 44 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 25 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 8, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 6, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Sep 6, 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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 13, 2026.
