Victoria Park & Craigton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend

The south leg carries the load — 11,114 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 868. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,550 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,611). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,611 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,550 from 3:15 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

2017 was the peak year (27 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Apr 24, 2018.

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

The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Biscayne Blvd and Elvaston Dr (360 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 17,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Jonesville Cres between Victoria Park Ave and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Apr 2025).

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

45 registered apartment buildings with 2,458 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1540 Victoria Park Ave (70 m, 132 units, 9 storeys, built 1982), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

45 registered buildings · 2,458 units · 2 social housing · tallest 10 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place 11 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on May 27, 2026.

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 Wexford/Maryvale.
