Willard & Bloor (East)

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 10, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 5,531 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 112. Most cyclists arrived from the west (187 of 365). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,561 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,328). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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: 1,328 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,561 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

2024 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 22, 2008.

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 Willard Ave between Lane N of Bloor and W of Windermere and Grassmere Rd (190 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Bloor St W between Durie St and Windermere Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Jane St (238 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 7,769 vehicles logged in July 2025 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and two 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 Runnymede-Bloor West Village.
