Dundas & Annette

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,669 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 2,559 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (96 of 171). Evening rush dominates here: 1,893 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,165 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,893 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

The worst year was 2018, with 30 collisions; 2025 recorded 25. 26 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Mar 8, 2022.

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

On Dupont St between Osler St and Dundas St W, 157 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dundas St W between Dupont St and Watkinson Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Apr 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (232 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.8% of the 18,708 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Indian Road Cres (northbound), 232 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 22 km/h, 85th percentile 33 km/h; 2.8% at 40 km/h or more. 18,708 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 13 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,617 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2750 Dundas St W (215 m, 30 units, 6 storeys, built 1997), which scored 90 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 13 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

13 registered buildings · 1,617 units · 4 social housing · tallest 29 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.

Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 17, 2026.

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 Junction Area.
