Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,039 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 4,567 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,611 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,188 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 16,177 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,188 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,611 from 2:15 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 2022, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 10 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 25, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 4, 2008.

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 Danforth Ave between Balford Ave and Warden Ave, 174 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Danforth Rd between Danforth Ave and Patterson Ave measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jul 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Newport Ave (398 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 21,139 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
