Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 30, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,083 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,877 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,178 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,978 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,978 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,178 from 5:15 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 18 collisions. 9 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 15, 2019.

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 Mount Pleasant Rd between Soudan Ave and Eglinton Ave E, 134 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. 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 (148 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 14,870 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 10 speed humps slow traffic on Soudan Avenue between Mount Pleasant Rd and Bayview Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.

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 South Eglinton-Davisville.
