Dundas & Regent

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 8, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,164 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 149 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (387 of 738). Evening rush dominates here: 854 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 633 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 11.9% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 633 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 854 from 2:00 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

The worst year was 2024, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 15 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 11 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (19%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 7, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 1, 2013.

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 Regent St between Sutton Ave and St David St, 178 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 23 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 32 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 36 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Shuter St (371 m away, 30 km/h limit), 22% of the 54,145 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

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 62 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 6,520 rental units, 4.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — 37 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 246 Sackville St (137 m, 61 units, 8 storeys, built 2009), which scored 91 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 62 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

62 registered buildings · 6,520 units · 37 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the vehicle 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 Regent Park.
