Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 19, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,350 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 2 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,125 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,035 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,035 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,125 from 5:00 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

The worst year was 2024, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 8 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Chaplin Cres between Yonge St and Duplex Ave, 170 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2023 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,500 vehicles a day.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 53 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 5,976 rental units, 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1920 Yonge St (266 m, 102 units, 7 storeys, built 1996), which scored 86 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 53 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

53 registered buildings · 5,976 units · 1 social housing · tallest 30 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.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Yonge-Eglinton.
