Eglinton & Falmouth

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,781 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 888 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,170 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,602 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,602 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,170 from 3:00 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 worst year was 2017, with 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 32 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 36 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jun 13, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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

On Eglinton Ave E between Commonwealth Ave and Huntington Ave, 256 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Gilder Dr between Midland Ave and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jul 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Bimbrok Rd (170 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 13,605 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Bimbrok Rd (northbound), 170 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 30 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 14% at 40 km/h or more. 13,605 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.

Within a kilometre there are 16 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,260 rental units — eight social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 83 Gilder Dr (146 m, 24 units, 6 storeys), which scored 96 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

16 registered buildings · 1,260 units · 8 social housing · tallest 18 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.

12 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× 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 1.1 a year before that. 33% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Eglinton East.
