Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at King St W & Dufferin St — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for King & Dufferin, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,731 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 4,321 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,877 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:00 p.m., against 1,361 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's most recent midblock count on King St W between Dufferin St and Gwynne Ave (63 m away, Nov 2015) recorded volume only — about 18,771 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| King St W · Dufferin St – Gwynne Ave · 63 m | Nov 2015 · 3 days | 18,771 | — | — | — |
| Dufferin St · Milky Way – Queen St W · 354 m | Jul 2017 · 2 days | 8,320 | — | — | — |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2017, with 66 collisions; 2025 recorded 34. 43 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 68 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 28 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 9, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 6, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Dec 6, 2016 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 16, 2026.
