Danforth & Rhodes

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 19, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,030 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 274. Most cyclists arrived from the west (216 of 226). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,752 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,827 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 1,752 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,827 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 17% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 2, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 27, 2023.

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 Rhodes Ave between Hanson St and Lane S of Danforth and W of Coxwell (233 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (265 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 19,056 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

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.

12 registered apartment buildings with 1,236 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1577 Danforth Ave (144 m, 126 units, 6 storeys, built 1991), which scored 96 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

12 registered buildings · 1,236 units · 10 social housing · tallest 14 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 five thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.2 a year. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% 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 Greenwood-Coxwell.
