Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,704 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,127. Morning rush is the busier period: 723 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 649 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 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

The City's counter on Queens Quay W between Dan Leckie Way and Bathurst St (81 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 7,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Queens Quay W · Dan Leckie Way – Bathurst St · 81 mMay 2025 · 3 days7,50426 km/h34 km/h38 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

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

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 13 thefts from vehicles and 24 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
