Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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 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.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Janet Blvd – Lawrence Ave E · 327 mSep 2022 · 3 days20,72637 km/h48 km/h54 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
