The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 9, 2004
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,385 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 72 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,825 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,834 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Royal York Rd between Kingsgrove Blvd and Usher Ave, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,100 vehicles a day. Usher Ave between The Kingsway and Royal York Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2025).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Usher Ave · The Kingsway – Royal York Rd · 55 m | Mar 2025 · 3 days | 2,602 | 33 km/h | 38 km/h | 41 km/h |
| Royal York Rd · Kingsgrove Blvd – Usher Ave · 124 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 18,073 | 43 km/h | 52 km/h | 57 km/h |
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
