How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Mount Pleasant Rd between Soudan Ave and Eglinton Ave E, 239 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 38 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 28,000 vehicles a day. Hillsdale Ave E between Mount Pleasant Rd and Forman Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (May 2001). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brownlow Ave (237 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 15,183 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Hillsdale Avenue East between Mount Pleasant Rd and Yonge St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
