Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 2, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 7,408 northbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 5,419. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,304 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,671). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% 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: 1,671 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,304 from 5:00 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

2024 was the peak year (61 collisions), and 2025 closed with 42. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 79 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 12% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 45 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The last one inside the window was in 2023. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Jun 27, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Dundas St W between Lane E of Spadina and S of Dundas and Spadina Ave (26 m away, Jan 2016) recorded volume only — about 6,770 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

32 registered apartment buildings with 3,025 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 16 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 15 Larch St (179 m, 20 units, 3 storeys, built 1993), which scored 71 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

32 registered buildings · 3,025 units · 16 social housing · tallest 36 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 119 thefts from vehicles and 21 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 23× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 20 in 2023–2025, about 6.7 a year, against 17.1 a year before that. 88% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 6 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 21, 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 Kensington-Chinatown.
