Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,442 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 8,939 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (64 of 143). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,048 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,310 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Scarlett Rd between Edenbridge Dr and Fontenay Crt, 255 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2021 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Scarlett Rd · Edenbridge Dr – Fontenay Crt · 255 mNov 2021 · 24 h24,66561 km/h69 km/h74 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Questions

Is Scarlett & Eglinton a dangerous intersection?

By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #16 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.
