Geary & Dovercourt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 15, 2020

The north leg carries the load — 2,527 southbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 482. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,185 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 1,074 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, not today's volume. 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: 1,185 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,074 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

2019 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 30% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 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 Jun 17, 2008.

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 2021

The City's counter on Dovercourt Rd between Dupont St and Geary Ave (84 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 13,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Geary Ave between Westmoreland Ave N and Salem Ave N measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Jan 2020).

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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 536 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 331 Bartlett Ave N (410 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 89, about the citywide norm.

7 registered buildings · 536 units · 4 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 four thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median 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 Wychwood.
