Danforth & Eaton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 6, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,943 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 8. Most cyclists arrived from the east (670 of 1,309). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,617 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,598 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,617 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,598 from 4:30 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

2024 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 11% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 1, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 1, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2004

The City's counter on Eaton Ave between Danforth Ave and Selkirk St (186 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

13 registered apartment buildings with 1,170 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 39 Harcourt Ave (363 m, 15 units, 3 storeys, built 1989), which scored 94 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

13 registered buildings · 1,170 units · 7 social housing · tallest 14 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 nine thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 7 in 2023–2025, about 2.3 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Blake-Jones.
