Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 24, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,366 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 268 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,128 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 989 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 989 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,128 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
On Warden Ave between Bamblett Dr and Cataraqui Cres, 64 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more.

At the school-zone speed sign on Warden Ave (29 m away, 50 km/h limit), 13% of the 132,362 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
