Eglinton & Chaplin

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 2, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 8,461 westbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,121. Most cyclists arrived from the east (76 of 183). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,771 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,771 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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: 1,771 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,771 from 3:45 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

2017 was the peak year (24 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 15, 2008.

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

The City's counter on Eglinton Ave W between Vesta Dr and Mayfair Ave (339 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 15,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Chaplin Cres between Eglinton Ave W and Spadina Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Mar 2015). At the school-zone speed sign on Spadina Rd (212 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.9% of the 9,709 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Spadina Rd (northbound), 212 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 19 km/h, 85th percentile 32 km/h; 3.9% at 40 km/h or more. 9,709 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

46 registered apartment buildings with 3,141 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 321 Chaplin Cres (41 m, 74 units, 8 storeys, built 1967), which scored 96 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

46 registered buildings · 3,141 units · 4 social housing · tallest 11 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 one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection 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 Forest Hill North.
