Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 3, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,639 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 1 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (3,227 of 6,744). Evening rush dominates here: 2,816 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 2,378 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,378 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,816 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 71 collisions; 2025 recorded 30. 53 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 47 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 29 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 25 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 cyclists were among those hurt. The most recent was on Aug 12, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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 University Ave between Pearl St and Lane S of Adelaide and W of University, 205 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,500 vehicles a day.

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 16 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,315 rental units — ten social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 20 St Patrick St (349 m, 256 units, 14 storeys, built 1982), which scored 82 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

16 registered buildings · 2,315 units · 10 social housing · tallest 29 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.

18 thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.4 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 73% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Yonge-Bay Corridor.
