Park & Rosedale Valley

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 9, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 8,451 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,229. Most cyclists arrived from the west (72 of 137). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,841 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,651). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,651 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,841 from 4:30 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

2018 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 7, 2006.

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 Park Rd between Rosedale Rd and Avondale Rd (161 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mt. Pleasant Rd (340 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 21,837 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Park Road between Rosedale Valley Rd and Avondale Rd (installed 2003).

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.

48 registered apartment buildings with 7,510 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 40 Park Rd (101 m, 39 units, 7 storeys, built 1954), which scored 89 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 48 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

48 registered buildings · 7,510 units · 4 social housing · tallest 51 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.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Rosedale-Moore Park.
