Eglinton & Richardson

Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 5, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 11,368 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,969. Most cyclists arrived from the east (122 of 253). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,295 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,660). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,660 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,295 from 5:00 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

2022 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 21, 2011.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

The City's counter on Eglinton Ave W between Glenhaven St and Kane Ave (125 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 19,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Richardson Ave between Lonborough Ave and Beechborough Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2021).

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.

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 Keelesdale-Eglinton West.
