Duncannon & Chaplin

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 1, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,912 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 100. Morning rush is the busier period: 872 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 805 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 872 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 805 from 4:15 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 10% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 8, 2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 2005

The City's counter on Duncannon Dr between Chaplin Cres and College View Ave (96 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Chaplin Cres between Elmsthorpe Ave and Beltline Trl measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Sep 2005).

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.

31 registered apartment buildings with 991 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 869 Avenue Rd (454 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1948), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

31 registered buildings · 991 units · tallest 9 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 two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Forest Hill South.
