The latest City count averages about 2,150 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 1.86× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 3 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. Cyclists were 2.1% of vehicle volume, about 2.8× the typical share. That comes with about 76 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 25.3 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 5.1× the median rate for counted intersections. The pace has been steady: 372 collisions in 2016–2020 and 389 in 2021–2025. About one in 381 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

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

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,730 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 6,672 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (292 of 645). Evening rush dominates here: 2,710 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 2,170 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Sutherland Ave and Denton Ave, 144 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Sibley Ave and Eldon Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Sutherland Ave – Denton Ave · 144 mAug 2026 · 3 days16,61636 km/h45 km/h50 km/h
Danforth Ave · Sibley Ave – Eldon Ave · 315 mJun 2025 · 3 days17,81228 km/h39 km/h44 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.
