Hour by hour, the 8-hour count works out to close to 1,760 vehicles, 1.52× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 8 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 12 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any collisions. Collisions edged down 8%, from 64 in 2016–2020 to 59 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 123 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 22, 2012

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,273 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,572 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (32 of 71). Evening rush dominates here: 2,088 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,891 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 W between Glenhaven St and Kane Ave, 193 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Glenhaven St – Kane Ave · 193 mOct 2022 · 3 days19,33049 km/h61 km/h67 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.
