Collisions edged down 7%, from 153 in 2016–2020 to 143 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 296 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 17,610 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,115 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,703 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 3,253 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Brentcliffe Rd between Broadway Ave and Don Avon Dr, 361 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave E · Frederick Todd Way – Brentcliffe Rd · 58 mMar 2013 · 3 days22,931
Brentcliffe Rd · Broadway Ave – Don Avon Dr · 361 mSep 2022 · 3 days62428 km/h35 km/h39 km/h

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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 52 collisions. 33 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 46 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 4, 2026.
