Richmond & Peter

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 9, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,962 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 72% of the total, against 1,965 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (3,152 of 4,452). Evening rush dominates here: 1,546 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:45 p.m., against 1,017 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,017 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,546 from 6:45 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

The worst year was 2016, with 25 collisions; 2025 recorded 20. 24 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 19 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 27, 2012.

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 most recent midblock count on Richmond St W between Duncan St and John St (285 m away, Sep 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,891 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 22 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,831 rental units — 11 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 168 John St (354 m, 180 units, 7 storeys, built 1979), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

22 registered buildings · 2,831 units · 11 social housing · tallest 46 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.

27 thefts from vehicles and 40 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 11× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 12 in 2023–2025, about 4.0 a year, against 7.9 a year before that. 81% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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.
