Danforth & Woodmount

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 8, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,840 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 150 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (121 of 213). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,001 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% 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: 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,001 from 2:00 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 2018, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 9 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.

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 Woodmount Ave between Danforth Ave and Paul Estrela Lane, 24 m from the corner, a 7-day count in April 2018 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. East Lynn Ave between Merrill Ave E and East Lynn Park Trl measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Oct 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (202 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 9,233 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on East Lynn Avenue between Danforth Ave and Merrill Ave E.

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.

One theft from a vehicle and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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.
