The latest City count averages about 2,420 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 2.1× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 22 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 42 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 12.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 2.5× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 23%, from 235 in 2016–2020 to 182 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 417 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,180 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 6,701 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,426 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 2,283 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On St Clair Ave E between Warden Ave and St. Clair Ravine Trl, 95 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 30,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Warden Ave · St Clair Ave E – Roper Rd · 43 mFeb 2016 · 7 days10,894
St Clair Ave E · Warden Ave – St. Clair Ravine Trl · 95 mApr 2025 · 3 days30,29848 km/h55 km/h60 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2019, with 69 collisions; 2025 recorded 39. 94 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 48 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 15 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 19, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. 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.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
