Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 6,648 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 139. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,808 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,502). Trucks and buses were 11.9% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,502 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,808 from 4:15 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

2023 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 22, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. 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

The City's counter on Warden Ave between Wayne Ave and Walbon Rd (107 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 25,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Wayne Ave between Lancefield Ave and Lingarde Dr measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Wayne Ave (208 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.3% of the 11,624 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
