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, 254 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. Strathearn Rd between Gloucester Grv and Ben Nobleman Park Trl measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Jan 2020) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (239 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. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Strathearn Road between Eglinton Ave W and Gloucester Grv.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Forest Hill North.
