Perth & Dupont

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 18, 2018

The west leg carries the load — 5,251 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 143. Most cyclists arrived from the west (428 of 853). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,315 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 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: 1,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,315 from 4:30 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 (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 18% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 13, 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 Apr 13, 2024.

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 Perth Ave and Franklin Ave (73 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Perth Ave between Dupont St and Lane N of Dupont and E of Perth measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2012). 14 speed humps slow traffic on Perth Avenue between Sterling Rd and Dupont St.

Perth Avenue (Sterling Rd – Dupont St): 14 speed humps

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.

16 registered apartment buildings with 1,773 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 485 Perth Ave (232 m). One building of the 16 scored below 70; the average is 82, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

16 registered buildings · 1,773 units · 7 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 three thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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.
