Queens Quay & Stadium

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 17, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 1,400 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3. Most cyclists arrived from the east (232 of 477). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 338 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (248). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 248 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 338 from 6:00 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

2019 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 16% of collisions here involved an injury. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 37% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 21% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 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 Stadium Rd between Queens Quay W and Bishop Tutu Blvd (48 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Queens Quay W between Little Norway Cres and Stadium Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

Six registered apartment buildings with 910 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 679 Queens Quay W (65 m, 106 units, 6 storeys, built 1988), which scored 94 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

6 registered buildings · 910 units · 5 social housing · tallest 41 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 19 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 74% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 63% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 25, 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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
