Oakwood & Earnscliffe

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 17, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,632 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 6 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (85 of 170). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,292 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,268 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% 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: 1,292 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,268 from 3:45 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 2024, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 5 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 7, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 24, 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 Oakwood Ave between Lane N of St Clair and W of Oakwood and Glenhurst Ave, 312 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,200 vehicles a day. Earnscliffe Rd between Oakwood Ave and Glenholme Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jul 2010).

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.

Within a kilometre there are 27 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,068 rental units. The nearest is 250 Oakwood Ave (67 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1929), which scored 85 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

27 registered buildings · 1,068 units · tallest 19 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Nine thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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.
