Humbercrest & Dundas

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 25, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,735 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 442. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,194 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,201 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 2,194 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,201 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).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 865 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 3725 Dundas St W (308 m, 153 units, 10 storeys, built 1972), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 865 units · 3 social housing · tallest 12 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 ten thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 90% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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.
