Danforth & Woodington

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,755 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 425 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (116 of 208). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,086 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (981). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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: 1,086 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 981 from 4:00 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 25 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 26 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 15 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 7, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 Woodington Ave between Danforth Ave and Lane N of Danforth and W of Woodington, 23 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2002 put the average speed at 18 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 28 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 32 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (220 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 19,056 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Wolverleigh Blvd (eastbound), 220 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 19 km/h, 85th percentile 29 km/h; 0.4% at 40 km/h or more. 19,056 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 11 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 783 rental units — nine social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1577 Danforth Ave (222 m, 126 units, 6 storeys, built 1991), which scored 96 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 94, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 783 units · 9 social housing · tallest 6 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.

Ten thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.2 a year. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 58% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

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 Woodbine Corridor.
