Davenport & Dupont

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 7,022 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,979. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,817 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,391). Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,391 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,817 from 2:15 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

2017 was the peak year (45 collisions), and 2025 closed with 28. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 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 darkness. The most recent was on Nov 17, 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 Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St (157 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. 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. Davenport Rd between Macpherson Ave and Glen Edyth Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

52 registered apartment buildings with 3,887 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 359 Davenport Rd (90 m, 17 units, 4 storeys, built 1900), which scored 79 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 52 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

52 registered buildings · 3,887 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.

Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 100% 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 Annex.
