Dufferin & Dufferin Park

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2026 · weekend

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 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 1,226 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,488 from 4:45 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

2024 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 3% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 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 last one inside the window was in 2023. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal, the latest on Jul 17, 2026.

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

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).

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.

20 registered apartment buildings with 1,590 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 919 Dufferin St (75 m, 113 units, 15 storeys, built 1971), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 20 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

20 registered buildings · 1,590 units · 3 social housing · tallest 20 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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 0.6 a year before that. 57% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Dufferin Grove.
