Dundas & Augusta

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 5, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 6,907 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 37. Most cyclists arrived from the west (541 of 1,245). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,341 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,154). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,154 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,341 from 5:00 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

2019 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 5, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 21, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 2007

The City's counter on Augusta Ave between Wales Ave and Denison Sq (156 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 5-day count in March 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 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.

25 registered apartment buildings with 1,759 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 11 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 164 Grange Ave (297 m, 24 units, 3 storeys, built 1970), which scored 71 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

25 registered buildings · 1,759 units · 11 social housing · tallest 24 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 19 thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.5 a year. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Kensington-Chinatown.
