Old Park & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,051 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,566 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,108 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,011 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% 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: 2,108 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,011 from 5:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 14 collisions. 7 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 8, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on May 31, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.

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 Old Park Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Shallmar Blvd, 336 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ava Rd (347 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 95,780 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Ava Rd (westbound), 347 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 12 km/h, 85th percentile 27 km/h; 0.2% at 40 km/h or more. 95,780 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 36 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,210 rental units, 2.4× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 989 Eglinton Ave W (79 m, 146 units, 7 storeys, built 1980), which scored 91 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 36 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

36 registered buildings · 2,210 units · 4 social housing · tallest 18 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.

No thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner 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 Humewood-Cedarvale.
