Oakdale & Eddystone

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,397 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 55 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,348 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,141 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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: 1,141 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,348 from 4:15 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 worst year was 2020, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 15 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 30, 2026.

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

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 2021

On Oakdale Rd between Jody Ave and Eddystone Ave, 105 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

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.

16 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.6 a year. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Glenfield-Jane Heights.
