Lansdowne & Dupont

Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 13, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 9,286 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5,659. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,202 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,364 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,202 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,364 from 5:30 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

2017 was the peak year (60 collisions), and 2025 closed with 40. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 40 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 25 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 2, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 2022

The City's counter on Dupont St between Lansdowne Ave and Campbell Ave (240 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 13,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 1,089 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1401 Dupont St (49 m, 171 units, 6 storeys, built 2006), which scored 72 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 81, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

10 registered buildings · 1,089 units · 1 social housing · tallest 21 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 46 thefts from vehicles and 33 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 13× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 18 in 2023–2025, about 6.0 a year, against 8.7 a year before that. 74% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 48% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 6 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 2026.

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 Junction-Wallace Emerson.
