Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

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. Amsterdam Ave between Glenburn Ave and Victoria Park Ave measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Apr 2004). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Amsterdam Avenue between Westview Blvd and Victoria Park Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Amsterdam Avenue · Westview Blvd – Victoria Park Ave
    7 speed humps

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 5, 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

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 Oct 21, 2015. 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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
