Danforth & Logan

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 24, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 6,192 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,417 of 2,973). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,256 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,106). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,106 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,256 from 3:15 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

2023 was the peak year (19 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 26, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Apr 25, 2022.

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.

Logan Avenue (Browning Ave – Danforth Ave): 3 speed humps; Logan Avenue (Danforth Ave – Mortimer Ave): 5 speed humps

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.

20 registered apartment buildings with 1,802 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 796 Carlaw Ave (270 m, 31 units, 4 storeys, built 1922), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 20 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

20 registered buildings · 1,802 units · 5 social housing · tallest 24 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 four thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 50% of the bike 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 North Riverdale.
