Duplex & Anderson

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 16, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,634 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 329 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 612 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (563). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 2021, 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: 612 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 563 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).

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2015

On Duplex Ave between Berwick Ave and Anderson Ave, 32 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2015 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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 57 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 6,772 rental units, 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection — seven social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 63 Maxwell Ave (253 m, 33 units, 3 storeys, built 1940), which scored 92 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 57 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

57 registered buildings · 6,772 units · 7 social housing · tallest 38 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.

Four 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.

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 Yonge-Eglinton.
