Bedford & Dupont

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 21, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,278 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,518 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,288 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 978 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 978 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,288 from 5:00 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 2019, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 5 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 4, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 5, 2019.

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 2004

On Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St, 331 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 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 44 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,576 rental units, 2.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 359 Davenport Rd (265 m, 17 units, 4 storeys, built 1900), which scored 79 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

44 registered buildings · 3,576 units · 3 social housing · tallest 25 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 67% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

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 Annex.
