Atlas & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 14, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 10,723 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 287. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,722 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 1,665 from 6:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,722 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 1,665 from 6:00 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

2018 was the peak year (68 collisions), and 2025 closed with 29. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on May 5, 2012.

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 Eglinton Ave W between Park Hill Rd and Fairleigh Cres (49 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 25,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Atlas Ave between Ava Rd and Gloucester Grv measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (27 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,464 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Eglinton Ave W (eastbound), 27 m — 50 km/h zone. Median 7 km/h, 85th percentile 13 km/h; 0.0% at 60 km/h or more. 8,464 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.

39 registered apartment buildings with 3,110 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.6× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1480 Eglinton Ave W (156 m, 11 units, 4 storeys, built 1958), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

39 registered buildings · 3,110 units · 5 social housing · tallest 28 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 one theft from a vehicle and four 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 Oakwood Village.
