Springhurst & Dufferin

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 9, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,295 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,729 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (278 of 529). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,290 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 6:30 p.m. (1,191). Trucks and buses were 7.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,290 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,191 from 6:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

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.

52 registered buildings · 4,356 units · 7 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle 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 South Parkdale.
