St George & Bernard

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 9, 2015

The north leg carries the load — 1,569 southbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 950. Morning rush is the busier period: 860 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 748 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 860 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 748 from 4:30 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

2023 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 34% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 20, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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

The City's counter on St George St between Bernard Ave and Admiral Rd (107 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bernard Ave between Admiral Rd and St George St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (May 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (307 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 27,962 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

60 registered apartment buildings with 5,046 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 88 Bernard Ave (35 m, 82 units, 11 storeys, built 1966), which scored 94 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 60 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

60 registered buildings · 5,046 units · 6 social housing · tallest 25 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.

Toronto Police place 13 thefts from vehicles and 27 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 4.4 a year before that. 77% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 63% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Annex.
