Hamilton & Dundas

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 8, 2020

The east leg carries the load — 3,306 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 36. Most cyclists arrived from the east (446 of 648). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 790 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (717). Trucks and buses were 11.5% 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 6 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: 717 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 790 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

2023 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 26% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 1, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Dundas St E between Broadview Ave and Lane E of Broadview and N of Dundas (95 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 5,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hamilton St between Mountstephen St and Gerrard St E measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (89 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 200,031 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Hamilton Street between Dundas St E and Kintyre Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

21 registered apartment buildings with 2,616 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 17 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 859 Dundas St E (61 m, 29 units, 4 storeys, built 1973), which scored 96 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

21 registered buildings · 2,616 units · 17 social housing · tallest 29 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 been steady at around 1.0 a year. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 South Riverdale.
