Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,691 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 901 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,359 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,906 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

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 Greylawn Cres and Rowena Park Trl, 188 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2024 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 37,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Lynvalley Cres · Victoria Park Ave – Princeway Dr · 130 mDec 2011 · 3 days1,452
Victoria Park Ave · Greylawn Cres – Rowena Park Trl · 188 mOct 2024 · 24 h37,04853 km/h60 km/h65 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.
