The latest City count averages about 1,220 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 4 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). Cyclists were 3.9% of vehicle volume, about 5.0× the typical share. That comes with about 7.3 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged down 8%, from 38 in 2016–2020 to 35 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 73 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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 — 6,746 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 254. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,488 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,226). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% 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 (5 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. Dufferin Park Ave between Havelock St and Gladstone Ave measured slower: 18 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Nov 2022).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dufferin St · Dufferin Grove Park Trl – Dufferin Park Ave · 5 mMar 2026 · 3 days20,88336 km/h46 km/h51 km/h
Dufferin Park Ave · Havelock St – Gladstone Ave · 187 mNov 2022 · 3 days87218 km/h28 km/h33 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.
