Eglinton & Rostrevor

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 1, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,578 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 59% of the total, against 5 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (87 of 169). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,046 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 7:00 p.m. (1,848). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,046 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 1,848 from 7:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
