Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 6, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,882 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 141. Most cyclists arrived from the west (56 of 104). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,106 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,179 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Donlea Dr between Hanna Rd and Rumsey Rd (245 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave E (93 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 666 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 1, 2014.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and 16 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 94% of the bike thefts were from school or campus property.
