Yonge & McGlashan

Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 24, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,118 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 69 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,308 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,362 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 2,308 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,362 from 4:30 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

The worst year was 2017, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 6 collisions (32%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 14, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 11, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2002

On McGlashan Rd between McGlashan Crt and Mason Blvd, 352 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2002 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 126 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 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.

Within a kilometre there are five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 411 rental units. The nearest is 4000 Yonge St (75 m, 305 units, 8 storeys, built 1964), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

5 registered buildings · 411 units · tallest 8 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.

11 thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.5 a year. 55% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills.
