Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 16,408 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7,161. Most cyclists arrived from the west (50 of 112). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,576 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,800 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,576 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,800 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2018 was the peak year (32 collisions), and 2025 closed with 27. 24% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 8, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 31, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Eglinton Ave W between Eglinton Ave West Trl and Royal York Rd (394 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 72 km/h.

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.

Five registered apartment buildings with 920 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 15. The nearest is 1407 Royal York Rd (217 m, 162 units, 13 storeys, built 1964), which scored 99 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 920 units · 2 social housing · tallest 15 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 no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 57% 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 Edenbridge-Humber Valley.
