Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,392 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 298 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (40 of 64). Evening rush dominates here: 1,748 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,517 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,517 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,748 from 4:45 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
The worst year was 2020, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 3 collisions (27%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 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 5, 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
On Victoria Park Ave between Furnival Rd and Medonte Ave, 303 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2021 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
