Evening rush dominates here: 3,440 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,333 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

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 2020

On Warden Ave between Cass Ave and 2075 Warden Ave, 237 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more.
