Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Dufferin St & Bloor St W — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Dufferin & Bloor, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
18 registered apartment buildings with 1,616 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1121 Bloor St W (39 m, 11 units, 4 storeys, built 1926), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 18 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 40 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 fire-code violations are open across them.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)
The south leg carries the load — 7,388 northbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,980. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,713 of 3,798). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,157 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,732). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Dufferin St between Dufferin Grove Park Trl and Dufferin Park Ave (321 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 20,900 vehicles a day. Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2022).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dufferin St · Dufferin Grove Park Trl – Dufferin Park Ave · 321 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 20,883 | 36 km/h | 46 km/h | 51 km/h |
| Bloor St W · Westmoreland Ave – Rusholme Rd · 383 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 10,989 | 33 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 3 cyclists were among those hurt. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. 2025 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Jul 18, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #37 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #461 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 3 | #2 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 25% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 7 | latest Jul 18, 2025 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and 19 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 27, 2025. 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.
