Glenarden & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 18,352 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 775 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,534 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,415 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,534 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,415 from 3:45 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

The worst year was 2024, with 23 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 7 collisions (6%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 24, 2024.

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 Glenarden Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Aldburn Rd, 335 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ava Rd (356 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 95,780 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Ava Rd (westbound), 356 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 12 km/h, 85th percentile 27 km/h; 0.2% at 40 km/h or more. 95,780 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 30 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,803 rental units, 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1065 Eglinton Ave W (146 m, 34 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

30 registered buildings · 1,803 units · 4 social housing · tallest 18 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.

No thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner 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 Humewood-Cedarvale.
