Gerrard & Eastwood

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 5,446 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,819. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,600 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,411). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,411 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,600 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2024 was the peak year (37 collisions), and 2025 closed with 33. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 52 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 27 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 28, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2011

The City's counter on Eastwood Rd between Highcroft Rd and Edgewood Ave (281 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Eastwood Road between Gerrard St E and Bowmore Rd.

Eastwood Road (Gerrard St E – Bowmore Rd): 5 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

24 registered apartment buildings with 865 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 14 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 15 Eastwood Rd (80 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1960), which scored 91 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

24 registered buildings · 865 units · 14 social housing · tallest 7 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and 18 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.5 a year. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Greenwood-Coxwell.
