Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 27, 2017

The south leg carries the load — 5,621 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,595. Most cyclists arrived from the south (195 of 436). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,691 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,765 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,691 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,765 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 (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 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 May 13, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Wellington St W between Walnut Ave and Garrison Crossing (249 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 6,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Strachan Ave between East Liberty St and Wellington St W measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Nov 2022). 6 speed humps slow traffic on Wellington Street West between Niagara St and Strachan Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Traffic calming

Wellington Street West (Niagara St – Strachan Ave): 6 speed humps; Wellington Street West (Tecumseth St – Strachan Ave): 7 speed humps (installed 2025)

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 3,012 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 25 Ordnance St (221 m, 333 units, 31 storeys, built 2021), which scored 100 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 11 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 3,012 units · 3 social housing · tallest 35 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 11 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 73% 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 West Queen West.
