Dundas & St Clarens

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 8, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 6,063 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7. Most cyclists arrived from the west (316 of 593). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,243 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,103). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,103 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,243 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

2022 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jul 9, 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 Feb 27, 2012.

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

The City's counter on St Clarens Ave between Lane S of College and E of St Clarens and Lane S of College and E of Lansdowne (86 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 5-day count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brock Ave (223 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 69,926 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on St Clarens Avenue between Dundas St W and College St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

16 registered apartment buildings with 1,113 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 301 Lansdowne Ave (180 m, 35 units, 5 storeys, built 1932), which scored 26 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 16 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

16 registered buildings · 1,113 units · 3 social housing · tallest 19 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 five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 100% 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 Little Portugal.
