Duplex & St Clements (North)

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 3, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 2,267 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 236. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 858 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 921 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 858 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 921 from 4:00 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

2017 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 20, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Clements Ave between Duplex Ave and Rosewell Ave (173 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Duplex Ave between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2011). At the school-zone speed sign on Erskine Ave (312 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.5% of the 91,477 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

65 registered apartment buildings with 7,653 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 11 Sherwood Ave (246 m, 23 units, 3 storeys, built 1930), which scored 99 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 65 scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

65 registered buildings · 7,653 units · 7 social housing · tallest 39 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 one theft from a vehicle and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 8, 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 Yonge-Eglinton.
