Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 3,210 vehicles, 2.8× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 71 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 68 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 15.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.1× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged down 12%, from 362 in 2016–2020 to 318 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 680 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 24, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 14,756 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 5,241 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (62 of 150). Evening rush dominates here: 3,831 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 3,303 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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

On Bridgeland Ave between Dufferin St and Glengate St, 81 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2003 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 102 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 141 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bridgeland Ave · Dufferin St – Glengate St · 81 mJul 2003 · 2 days14,15659 km/h102 km/h141 km/h
Dufferin St · Dufferin St S – Billy Bishop Way · 261 mJul 2017 · 2 days19,168

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2019, with 97 collisions; 2025 recorded 58. 59 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 74 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.
