Dupont & Delaware

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 11,697 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 364. Most cyclists arrived from the west (84 of 165). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,910 vehicles in the hour from 6:45 a.m. and 1,854 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,910 vehicles in the hour from 6:45 a.m. and 1,854 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2023 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 2, 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 Dec 26, 2015.

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 2022

The City's counter on Dupont St between Shaw St and Ossington Ave (304 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 14,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Nine registered apartment buildings with 606 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 331 Bartlett Ave N (626 m, 13 units, 3 storeys, built 1905), which scored 74 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

9 registered buildings · 606 units · 5 social housing · tallest 9 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 four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% 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 Dovercourt Village.
