Guestville & Eglinton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 19, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,247 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 519 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,105 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,710 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.8% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,710 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,105 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).

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.
