Eglinton & Park Hill

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 22, 2004

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,740 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 24 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,462 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2004, 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.

Peak hours: 2,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,462 from 4:15 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 2023, with 24 collisions; 2025 recorded 13. 18 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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 W between Park Hill Rd and Fairleigh Cres, 43 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (28 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 108,880 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Park Hill Road between Eglinton Ave W and Fairleigh Cres.

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.

Two thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.
