Shuter & Jarvis

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 3, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,945 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 1,720 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,747 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 813 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% 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. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

Peak hours: 813 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,747 from 4:15 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 2017, with 30 collisions; 2025 recorded 22. 43 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 16 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. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 18, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021

On Jarvis St between Shuter St and Lane S of Dundas and W of Jarvis, 78 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2021 put the average speed at 38 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 9,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 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 70 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 8,284 rental units, 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — 37 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 90 Shuter St (32 m, 77 units, 10 storeys, built 1983), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 70 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

70 registered buildings · 8,284 units · 37 social housing · tallest 37 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.

19 thefts from vehicles and ten 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 been steady at around 2.9 a year. 89% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 7, 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 Moss Park.
