Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 25, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 8,790 northbound vehicles, or 61% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the south (1,310 of 2,397). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,353 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 35% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,001). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,001 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,353 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

2016 was the peak year (19 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 30, 2017.

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 Queen's Park Cres W between Queen's Park Trl and Wellesley Queens Pr S Ramp (238 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 14,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Wellesley St W between St Nicholas St and Bay St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Mar 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (115 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 51,004 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

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.

43 registered apartment buildings with 6,030 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.9× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 925 Bay St (341 m, 293 units, 33 storeys, built 2005), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

43 registered buildings · 6,030 units · 3 social housing · tallest 51 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 three thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Bay-Cloverhill.
