Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, 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 16,183 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.

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

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. 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). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wayne Ave (208 m away, 30 km/h limit), 10% of the 16,660 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

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.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 7, 2014. 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 Wexford/Maryvale.
