Pharmacy & Eglinton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 14,737 westbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9,453. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,161 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (3,178). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 3,178 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,161 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

2018 was the peak year (79 collisions), and 2025 closed with 57. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 71 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 41 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. All of them happened in darkness (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions do). The most recent was on Jan 7, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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

The City's counter on Pharmacy Ave between Alvinston Rd and Eglinton Ave E (139 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 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.

34 registered apartment buildings with 1,731 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 40 Craigton Dr (238 m, 30 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 94 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

34 registered buildings · 1,731 units · 1 social housing · tallest 10 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 seven thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 43% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 1, 2026.

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 Wexford/Maryvale.
