Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Dufferin St & Dundas St W — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Dundas & Dufferin, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,103 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 3,216 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (715 of 1,191). Evening rush dominates here: 1,636 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,422 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Dufferin St between Florence St and Gordon St, 373 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gladstone Ave (252 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 69,068 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dundas St W · Federal St – Dufferin St · 20 m | Jan 2016 · 6 days | 8,218 | — | — | — |
| Dufferin St · Florence St – Gordon St · 373 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 17,262 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 56 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 252 m
Gladstone Ave (southbound), 184 Gladstone Avenue · 69,068 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2019, with 43 collisions; 2025 recorded 30. 46 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 44 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 26 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 25, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Apr 4, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #115 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 3 | #30 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | 0% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Apr 4, 2017 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Eight thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 4, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 4, 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.
