Runnymede & Bloor

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 6,051 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,412. Most cyclists arrived from the east (334 of 747). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,570 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,421). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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: 1,421 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,570 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

2019 was the peak year (31 collisions), and 2025 closed with 17. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Oct 12, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 Runnymede Rd between Neil McLellan Park Trl and Colbeck St (237 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 0.7 a year before that. 43% of the bike thefts were from transit property.

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 High Park-Swansea.
