Hour by hour, the 14-hour count works out to close to 2,580 vehicles, 2.2× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 7 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 29 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 8.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.61× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged down 11%, from 152 in 2016–2020 to 136 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 288 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,132 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 6,048 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,510 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 2,328 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Eglinton Ave E between Oswego Rd and Barbados Blvd, 295 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2008 put the average speed at 62 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danforth Rd · Eglinton Ave E – No Frills Lane · 58 mMay 2017 · 3 days11,260
Eglinton Ave E · Oswego Rd – Barbados Blvd · 295 mJul 2008 · 24 h29,66662 km/h69 km/h74 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.
