Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 5, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,062 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 836 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (118 of 281). Evening rush dominates here: 2,472 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,171 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Municipal Dr between Eglinton Ave W and Black Creek Trl, 77 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2004 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Bicknell Ave between Juliet Cres and Avon Dr measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Aug 2020). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bicknell Ave (175 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 52,905 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Bicknell Avenue between Eglinton Ave W and Rogers Rd.

Traffic calming

    8 speed humps

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2016, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 14 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 21, 2015. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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

Nine thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 89% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 14, 2026.
