Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 16, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,404 northbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 872. Most cyclists arrived from the north (129 of 292). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,056 vehicles in the hour from 6:15 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (921). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 921 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,056 from 6:15 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

2024 was the peak year (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 17. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 7, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 Dufferin St between Saskatchewan Rd and Springhurst Ave (64 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 13,800 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.

36 registered apartment buildings with 2,826 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.4× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1 Springhurst Ave (269 m, 41 units, 5 storeys, built 1962), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

36 registered buildings · 2,826 units · 5 social housing · tallest 23 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 seven thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 0.6 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
