Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Yonge St & College St / Carlton St — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Yonge & College, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
141 registered apartment buildings with 16,925 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 32 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 6.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 424 Yonge St (120 m, 210 units, 10 storeys, built 1940), which scored 97 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 141 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 399 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 129 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Aug 1, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 3,784 eastbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,911. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,410 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,498 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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
The City's counter on Yonge St between Maitland St and Wellesley St W (353 m away) recorded an average of 22 km/h in its 7-day count in August 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 32 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| College St · Bay St – La Plante Ave · 262 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 7,732 | — | — | — |
| Yonge St · Maitland St – Wellesley St W · 353 m | Aug 2026 · 7 days | 12,716 | 22 km/h | 32 km/h | 37 km/h |
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
2019 was the peak year (46 collisions), and 2025 closed with 28. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 49 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 19 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 31, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 28, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year

|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #193 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #79 of 319 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Jan 28, 2024 |
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.
