Warden & Bertrand

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 17, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 6,494 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 24. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,035 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,664). Trucks and buses were 12.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 1,664 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,035 from 4:30 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

2018 was the peak year (26 collisions), and 2025 closed with 18. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2024. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 cyclist involved), the latest on Jul 2, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019

The City's counter on Warden Ave between Ashtonbee Rd and Bertrand Ave (138 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 7,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bertrand Ave between Warden Ave and Crockford Blvd measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Mar 2006).

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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Wexford/Maryvale.
