Durie & Bloor (East)

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 12, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,973 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 502. Most cyclists arrived from the east (445 of 909). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,098 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (976). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 976 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,098 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Durie St between George Chater Parkette Trl and Colbeck St (250 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bloor St W between Durie St and Windermere Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (367 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.6% of the 33,381 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Durie Street between Bloor St W and Annette St (installed 2025).

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 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 Runnymede-Bloor West Village.
