Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,210 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 10 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,665 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,722 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,665 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,722 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2022, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 10 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 7, 2015.

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 Martin Grove Rd between Eglinton Ave W and Richgrove Dr, 137 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 64 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 73 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 78 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Richgrove Dr between Martin Grove Rd and Willowridge Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Nine thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 56% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 20, 2026.

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 Willowridge-Martingrove-Richview.
