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 12, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,411 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 122 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,018 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 912 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.1% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 912 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,018 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 2 collisions. 3 collisions (33%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 12, 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 Nov 24, 2009.

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. That segment carries about 13,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Warden Ave (156 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.
