Dovercourt & Foxley

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,066 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,276 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (282 of 662). Evening rush dominates here: 493 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 301 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 301 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 493 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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

On Dovercourt Rd between Humbert St and Argyle St, 153 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 31 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Foxley St between Foxley Pl and Grove Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (Apr 2024).

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.

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.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.
