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 · Dec 10, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,539 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 205. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,116 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,179 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.6% 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 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 1,116 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,179 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).

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 2018
The City's counter on Warden Ave between Lane N of Danforth and W of Warden and Butterworth Ave (77 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 10,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Butterworth Ave between Scotia Ave and Medford Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2018).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Lane N of Danforth and W of Warden – Butterworth Ave · 77 m | Nov 2018 · 2 days | 10,803 | 49 km/h | 57 km/h | 62 km/h |
| Butterworth Ave · Scotia Ave – Medford Ave · 139 m | Nov 2018 · 24 h | 726 | 37 km/h | 45 km/h | 52 km/h |
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.
