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 10, 2024 · weekend
The east leg carries the load — 6,451 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 38. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,320 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (902). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 902 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,320 from 2:30 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
2019 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 31% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 18, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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
The City's counter on Linden Ave between Laurel Ave and Harmony Ave (156 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (267 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 160,802 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
