Warden & Civic

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 6, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,258 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 487. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,772 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,495). Trucks and buses were 7.1% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 1,495 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,772 from 5:00 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

2016 was the peak year (33 collisions), and 2025 closed with 17. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 60 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Jul 17, 2018.

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 2006

The City's counter on Civic Rd between Warden Ave and Prudham Gt (119 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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 14 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.5 a year. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
