Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023
The south leg carries the load — 12,752 northbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,959. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 5,214 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,420 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 5,214 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,420 from 4:00 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
2016 was the peak year (202 collisions), and 2025 closed with 134. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 116 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 92 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. All of them happened in darkness (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions do). The most recent was on Oct 20, 2022. 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.

Is Dufferin & Finch a walkable intersection?
