Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jul 12, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,531 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 721. Morning rush is the busier period: 828 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 675 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 15.2% 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 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 E between Transway Cres and Hydro Corridor (Id: 3354838) (68 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 2-day count in October 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kennedy Rd (326 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 278,132 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

The pace has been steady at around 2.7 a year. 74% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from transit property. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 3, 2026.
