Evening rush dominates here: 2,776 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 2,439 in the morning peak from 7:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,439 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 2,776 from 6:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 10 collisions. 9 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 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 Sep 15, 2014.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Eglinton Sq between Victoria Park Ave and Eglinton Ave E (112 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 9,944 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.

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 Wexford/Maryvale.
