Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2024, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 7 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 31, 2023.

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 Edenbridge Dr between The Kingsway and Edenbrook Hill, 385 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2015 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Royal York Rd between Glendarling Rd and Bell Royal Crt measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Aug 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

27 registered buildings · 654 units · tallest 17 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.

One theft from a vehicle and no 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 Edenbridge-Humber Valley.
