Dufferin & Tycos

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 15, 2002

The north leg carries the load — 7,659 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 87. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,329 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,036). Trucks and buses were 6.4% 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 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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: 2,036 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,329 from 4:30 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

2019 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 14, 2019.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2013

The City's counter on Tycos Dr between Dufferin St and Lansdowne Ave (307 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in July 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

13 registered apartment buildings with 1,138 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 435 Glen Park Ave (295 m, 42 units, 4 storeys, built 1962), which scored 96 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

13 registered buildings · 1,138 units · 2 social housing · tallest 18 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 five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Yorkdale-Glen Park.
