Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 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. 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). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Glenhaven St – Kane Ave · 125 mOct 2022 · 3 days19,33049 km/h61 km/h67 km/h
Richardson Ave · Lonborough Ave – Beechborough Ave · 347 mOct 2021 · 3 days3,55339 km/h47 km/h52 km/h

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 21, 2011.

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.
