Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 14,938 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 749 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (99 of 214). Evening rush dominates here: 2,852 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,391 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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: 2,391 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,852 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

How fast traffic moves here

On Eglinton Ave E between Commonwealth Ave and Huntington Ave, 333 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more.
