Gerrard & Glenmount Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 31, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 4,694 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 387. Most cyclists arrived from the east (73 of 124). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,449 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,189). Trucks and buses were 15.3% 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

Peak hours: 1,189 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,449 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 East End-Danforth.
