Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2026 · weekend

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 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,422 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,636 from 3:45 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 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, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

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.

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 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 65,280 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Gladstone Ave (southbound), 252 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 24 km/h, 85th percentile 32 km/h; 1.4% at 40 km/h or more. 65,280 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 23 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,318 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1505 Dundas St W (57 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1911), which scored 73 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 23 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

23 registered buildings · 1,318 units · 3 social housing · tallest 15 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.

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. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 38% 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, 1 more has been reported, the latest on 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Little Portugal.
