Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 14, 2026

Peak hours: 607 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 582 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Livingstone Ave between Marlee Ave and Times Rd, 209 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2007 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Marlee Ave between Beltline Trl and Roselawn Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (144 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,464 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Livingstone Avenue between Marlee Ave and Times Rd.

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 38 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,191 rental units, 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — five social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1480 Eglinton Ave W (115 m, 11 units, 4 storeys, built 1958), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

38 registered buildings · 3,191 units · 5 social housing · tallest 28 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.

Five thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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 Forest Hill North.
