Avenue & Dunblaine

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 7, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,951 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 437 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,476 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,371 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 2,476 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,371 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

The worst year was 2024, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 5 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 5, 2018.

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 2013

On Dunblaine Ave between Elm Rd and Lane E of Avenue and S of Dunblaine, 115 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2013 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 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 19 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,130 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2125 Avenue Rd (289 m, 33 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 96 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

19 registered buildings · 1,130 units · 2 social housing · tallest 16 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 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 Bedford Park-Nortown.
