Dupont & Hammond

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 25, 2023 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,112 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 13 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (63 of 130). Evening rush dominates here: 1,592 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 984 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 984 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,592 from 2:00 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

The worst year was 2022, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 6 collisions (33%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). The most recent report on file is from Aug 8, 2025.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Dupont St between Skaters Lane and Hammond Pl, 52 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,600 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.
