Beresford & Dundas

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 25, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 9,144 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 98. Most cyclists arrived from the west (42 of 88). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,597 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,597 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

2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 3% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 6, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 8, 2009.

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 Beresford Ave between St John's Rd and Dundas St W (121 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 800 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.

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 277 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 3385 Dundas St W (64 m, 131 units, 7 storeys, built 2021), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

7 registered buildings · 277 units · tallest 7 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.

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 38% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 Runnymede-Bloor West Village.
