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: 9,260 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 384 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,753 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,163 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.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Victoria Park Ave between Huntingwood Dr and Clydesdale Dr, 207 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more.
