Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Menin Rd between Dewbourne Ave and Lane S of Eglinton and W of Glen Cedar (150 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ava Rd (344 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 93,132 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Menin Road between Eglinton Ave W and Dewbourne Ave.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 8, 2015.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

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.
