Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 25, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 1,705 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 518. Most cyclists arrived from the south (38 of 89). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 603 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 578 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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: 603 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 578 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Glendora Ave between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Glendora (77 m away, Nov 2010) recorded volume only — about 2,384 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.

Not within a walk: a public washroom or a care or retirement home.

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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 1,402 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 2 Oakburn Cres (416 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1945), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

10 registered buildings · 1,402 units · 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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 10, 2026.
