Sudbury & Lisgar

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 2, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 839 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 59% of the total, against 592 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (144 of 268). Evening rush dominates here: 252 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 173 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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: 173 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 252 from 5:00 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 2016, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 2 collisions (3%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 39% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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

On Sudbury St between Abell St and Queen St W, 222 m from the corner, a 4-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lisgar St between Sudbury St and Lane S of Queen and W of Lisgar measured slower: 20 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (Nov 2022).

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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

56 thefts from vehicles and 77 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 22× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 16, 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 Little Portugal.
