Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 30, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 6,704 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,796. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,262 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,919). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Warden Ave between Lane N of Danforth and W of Warden and Butterworth Ave (148 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 10,800 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 8 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; 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
