Dufferin & Davenport

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

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,420 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 4,526 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the west (51 of 120). Evening rush dominates here: 1,887 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,674 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,674 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,887 from 2:00 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 2016, with 51 collisions; 2025 recorded 31. 50 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 47 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 7, 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 Oct 24, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 Chandos Ave and Beaver Ave, 149 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Davenport Rd between Salem Ave N and Bartlett Ave N measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (130 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 88,653 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Dufferin St (northbound), 130 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 32 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 0.3% at 50 km/h or more. 88,653 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

The nearest is 331 Bartlett Ave N (560 m, 13 units, 3 storeys, built 1905), which scored 74 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

9 registered buildings · 344 units · 3 social housing · tallest 8 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.

One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Corso Italia-Davenport.
