Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 30, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,949 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 2,121 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,912 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,110 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 2,912 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,110 from 5:30 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2009
On Laird Dr between Divadale Dr and Broadway Ave, 255 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2009 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eglinton Ave E · Sutherland Dr – Laird Dr · 101 m | Mar 2013 · 3 days | 39,075 | — | — | — |
| Laird Dr · Divadale Dr – Broadway Ave · 255 m | Mar 2009 · 24 h | 3,775 | 34 km/h | 39 km/h | 43 km/h |
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.
