Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 28, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 6,882 northbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 5,481. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,042 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,139 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,042 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,139 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2019 was the peak year (61 collisions), and 2025 closed with 47. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 54 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 14, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jun 15, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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

The City's counter on Dufferin St between Alma Ave and Waterloo Ave (354 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 13,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (363 m away, 30 km/h limit), 36% of the 266,392 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Speed sign

Dufferin St (northbound), 363 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 36 km/h, 85th percentile 46 km/h; 36% at 40 km/h or more. 266,392 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

72 registered apartment buildings with 6,299 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 20 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 345 Dufferin St (178 m, 200 units, 8 storeys, built 1984), which scored 83 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 72 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

72 registered buildings · 6,299 units · 20 social housing · tallest 35 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 seven thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.8 a year. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 45% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Roncesvalles.
