Runnymede & St Clair

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 18, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,514 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 3,052 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,474 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,987 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,987 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,474 from 2:15 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 2019, with 54 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 35 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 51 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 30, 2014.

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 St Clair Ave W between Britannia Ave and Hagar Ave, 183 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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 five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 503 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 8 Castleton Ave (275 m, 17 units, 3 storeys, built 1965), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

5 registered buildings · 503 units · 1 social housing · tallest 16 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.

Nine thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 56% of the vehicle 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 Rockcliffe-Smythe.
