Dufferin & Cloverlawn

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,397 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 387 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,450 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,562 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,450 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,562 from 4:15 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 worst year was 2022, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 7 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 17, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Dufferin St between Norton Ave and Ascot Ave, 213 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,600 vehicles a day. Cloverlawn Ave between Northcliffe Blvd and Westmount Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2014).

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.

Within a kilometre there are 14 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 327 rental units. The nearest is 34 Rosecliffe Ave (373 m, 26 units, 4 storeys, built 1945), which scored 90 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 82, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

14 registered buildings · 327 units · tallest 4 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Corso Italia-Davenport.
