Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Feb 7, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 18,428 westbound vehicles, or 90% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 818. Most cyclists arrived from the north (45 of 101). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,964 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 1,670 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Richmond St E between Ontario St and Berkeley St (253 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Shuter St (390 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 57,521 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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 five thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 11 in 2023–2025, about 3.7 a year, against 0.0 a year before that. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
