Richmond & Brant

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 24, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 7,366 westbound vehicles, or 82% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,618 of 3,042). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 930 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 95% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (477). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% 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: 477 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 930 from 4:15 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 (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 12% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 30, 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 Brant St between King St W and Lane S of Adelaide and E of Brant (240 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Wellington Place.
