Eglinton & Menin

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 8, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 15,641 westbound vehicles, or 61% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4. Most cyclists arrived from the west (33 of 41). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,190 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:15 a.m., compared with 2,000 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,190 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 2,000 from 4:45 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

2017 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 11, 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 Oct 8, 2015.

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.

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.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Humewood-Cedarvale.
