Dundas & Beverley

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 9, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 6,439 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,751. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,590 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,444). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,444 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,590 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

2017 was the peak year (30 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 13% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 15, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 11, 2018.

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

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.

27 registered apartment buildings with 3,010 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 15 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 11 Sullivan St (300 m, 17 units, 3 storeys, built 1923), which scored 83 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

27 registered buildings · 3,010 units · 15 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.

Toronto Police place 38 thefts from vehicles and 26 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 11× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 14 in 2023–2025, about 4.7 a year, against 7.1 a year before that. 87% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 23, 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 Kensington-Chinatown.
