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 · Jun 4, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,418 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 711 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (124 of 179). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,296 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,234 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,296 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,234 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2022
On Victoria Park Ave between Janet Blvd and Lawrence Ave E, 327 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Victoria Park Ave · Janet Blvd – Lawrence Ave E · 327 m | Sep 2022 · 3 days | 20,726 | 37 km/h | 48 km/h | 54 km/h |
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.
