There are three new additions to the city's top 10 most dangerous intersections.
These intersections were identified based on vehicle collision data throughout 2024. Police say speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and unsafe lane changes were among the leading contributing factors to these collisions.
The following intersections recorded the highest number of collisions in 2024:
1. E.C. Row Expressway and Howard Avenue (89 collisions)
2. E.C. Row Expressway and Central Avenue (62 collisions)
3. Forest Glade Drive and Tecumseh Road East (51 collisions)

The intersections of Provincial Road and Walker Road, Tecumseh Road East and Walker Road, and E.C. Row Expressway and Walker Road were not on the top 10 list of 2023.
“Most vehicle collisions are entirely preventable,” said Inspector Jennifer Crosby, who oversees the Traffic Enforcement Unit. “We hope motorists will drive responsibly to help keep themselves and others safe.
