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 · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,926 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 2,560 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,506 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,146 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,146 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,506 from 2:00 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 2017, with 18 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 14 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 26, 2008.

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 2010
On Victoria Park Ave between Ivordale Cres and Combermere Dr, 177 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2005 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 71 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cassandra Blvd between Cassandra Park Trl and Welsford Gdns measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2010) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
