Oakwood & Holland Park

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 16, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,444 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 45. Most cyclists arrived from the south (86 of 168). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,182 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,237 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,182 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,237 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

2024 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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.

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.

26 registered buildings · 1,088 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.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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.
