Dundas & Brad

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 6, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,943 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 36 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (58 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 964 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,014 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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: 964 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,014 from 4:30 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 2023, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 2 collisions (13%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 16, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Dundas St W between Dupont St and Watkinson Ave, 212 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (281 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), 281 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 14 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,159 rental units — five social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1625 Dupont St (308 m, 10 units, 3 storeys, built 1920), which scored 77 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 14 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

14 registered buildings · 2,159 units · 5 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 14, 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.
