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 Walder Ave between Eglinton Ave E and Roehampton Ave, 243 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2012 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Broadway Ave between Walder Ave and McBain Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (May 2024) — 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.
