Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 23 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 853 rental units — seven social or Toronto Community Housing.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 8, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,678 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 500 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (40 of 75). Evening rush dominates here: 855 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 752 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Yarmouth Rd between Miles Pl and Lane E of Shaw and S of Yarmouth, 291 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 21 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 29 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Essex St (247 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 31,094 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

School-zone speed sign 247 m
Essex St (westbound), Opp 49 Essex · 31,094 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2023, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 5 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Three thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 57% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.
By year

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 3 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), apartment parking (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 26, 2025. 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.
