Oakwood & Earlsdale (North)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,361 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,123. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,269 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,284 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,269 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,284 from 3:30 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

2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 13% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Oakwood Village.
