Yonge & Patricia

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 17,129 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,189. Most cyclists arrived from the north (124 of 257). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,996 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,649). Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,649 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,996 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

2018 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 27% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 4, 2024.

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 Patricia Ave between Lariviere Rd and Goulding Park Trl (273 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day.

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.

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 46 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 8.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 5.1 a year. 52% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Newtonbrook West.
