Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Queen 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 Queen & 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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
117 registered apartment buildings with 9,674 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 23 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.1× the median for a Toronto intersection.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). 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 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 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), 38% of the 279,345 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

| Queen St W · Dufferin St – Noble St · 45 m | Aug 2015 · 3 days | 16,288 | — | — | — |

School-zone speed sign 363 m
Dufferin St (northbound), 447 Dufferin Street · 279,345 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
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.

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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
