O'Connor & Dustan

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 10, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,695 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 199 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (36 of 59). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,439 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,515 from 2:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,439 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,515 from 2:30 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

The worst year was 2021, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 7, 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 darkness. The most recent was on Feb 12, 2022.

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

On O'Connor Dr between Athlone Rd and Airley Cres, 100 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 37,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dustan Cres between Four Oaks Gt and O'connor Dr measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jun 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Dustan Crescent between Four Oaks Gt and O'Connor Dr.

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.

Within a kilometre there are eight RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 271 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 9 Elmsdale Rd (506 m, 38 units, 4 storeys, built 1945), which scored 86 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

8 registered buildings · 271 units · 2 social housing · tallest 8 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.

No thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Old East York.
