Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,197 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 4,696 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (257 of 405). Evening rush dominates here: 1,987 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,424 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Warden Ave between Mack Ave and Bamblett Dr, 376 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2019 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,500 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Balford Ave and Warden Ave measured slower: 46 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (May 2022). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Warden Ave (304 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.1% of the 143,333 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
