Warden & St Clair

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 10, 2024 · weekend

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 16,177 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,283 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,426 from 2:30 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 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, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 13, 2026.

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.

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 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.

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.

Within a kilometre there are six RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 413 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 3423 St Clair Ave E (673 m, 30 units, 4 storeys, built 1968), which scored 93 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

6 registered buildings · 413 units · 1 social housing · tallest 15 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Ten thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 70% 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.
