Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 12, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,705 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 4,204 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,698 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,639 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,639 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,698 from 5:15 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

The worst year was 2017, with 37 collisions; 2025 recorded 15. 29 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 3, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2015

On The Queensway between Windermere Ave and Southport St, 47 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Within a kilometre there are five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 315 rental units. The nearest is 65 Windermere Ave (264 m, 92 units, 6 storeys, built 1962), which scored 95 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 315 units · tallest 6 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.

Nine thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 1, 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 High Park-Swansea.
