Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,512 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 2 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,886 of 5,556). Evening rush dominates here: 2,214 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,744 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,744 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,214 from 5:30 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 2017, with 33 collisions; 2025 recorded 20. 34 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 39 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 28 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (14%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 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 Jul 13, 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

On Spadina Ave between Oxley St and Adelaide St W, 154 m from the corner, a 5-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bulwer St (233 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,601 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Bulwer St (eastbound), 233 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 5 km/h, 85th percentile 7 km/h; 0.0% at 40 km/h or more. 5,601 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 24 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,660 rental units — 11 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 20 Vanauley St (347 m, 135 units, 8 storeys, built 1986), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

24 registered buildings · 3,660 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.

21 thefts from vehicles and 35 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 9.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 6.9 a year before that. 81% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 46% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 9, 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 Wellington Place.
