Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 29, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 10,804 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 282. Most cyclists arrived from the west (43 of 72). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,651 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,778 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months 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 Eglinton Ave W between Guestville Ave and Pearen St (24 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 18,100 vehicles a day. Pearen St between Pearen Park Trl and Glenvalley Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Aug 2014). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Guestville Ave (268 m away, 30 km/h limit), 4.3% of the 45,297 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Pearen Street between Eglinton Ave W and Glenvalley Dr.

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

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

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
