The latest City count averages about 1,330 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 4 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 33 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 18.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 3.6× the median rate for counted intersections. The pace has been steady: 168 collisions in 2016–2020 and 166 in 2021–2025. None of them involved a death or serious injury.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 6,891 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,919. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,626 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,377). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Kingston Rd between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave (108 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 25,600 vehicles a day. Victoria Park Ave between Bracken Ave and Lane S of Kingston and W of Victoria Park measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Victoria Park Ave – Blantyre Ave · 108 mOct 2022 · 24 h25,62742 km/h54 km/h60 km/h
Victoria Park Ave · Bracken Ave – Lane S of Kingston and W of Victoria Park · 145 mApr 2026 · 3 days4,41932 km/h39 km/h44 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.

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.

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

Toronto Police place 17 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 53% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 63% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 5, 2026.

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.
