Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 24, 2025
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 9,513 and 10,394 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,686 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,980 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,686 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,980 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 55 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 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 7, 2008. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 Bridletowne Crcl and Glen Springs Dr, 386 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Warden Ave (297 m away, 50 km/h limit), 9.6% of the 64,907 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
