Eglinton & Hoyle

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 6, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 11,383 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6. Most cyclists arrived from the west (50 of 80). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,832 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,929 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,832 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,929 from 4:30 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

2023 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 15, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Ave E between Bruce Park Ave and Hoyle Ave (25 m away, Mar 2013) recorded volume only — about 17,936 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.

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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the bike 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 Mount Pleasant East.
