Victoria Park & Denton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 18, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,335 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 12 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,586 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,159 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,159 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,586 from 4:15 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 11 collisions. 13 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 25, 2024.

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 Sutherland Ave and Denton Ave, 45 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. Denton Ave between St Dunstan Dr and Madelaine Ave measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Victoria Park Ave (330 m away, 40 km/h limit), 13% of the 177,542 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
