Dupont & Dufferin

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 5, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 11,131 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 8,071. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,027 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,787). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,787 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,027 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

2019 was the peak year (74 collisions), and 2025 closed with 56. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 74 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 30 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 7, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Dufferin St between Wallace Emerson Park Trl and Galleria Rd (165 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dupont St between Radiator St and Graphophone Grv measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (398 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 88,653 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Dufferin St (northbound), 398 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 32 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 0.3% at 50 km/h or more. 88,653 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Eight registered apartment buildings with 1,062 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 331 Bartlett Ave N (465 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 81, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

8 registered buildings · 1,062 units · 2 social housing · tallest 21 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 five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 16, 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 Dovercourt Village.
