Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 26, 2019
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,336 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 97 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,370 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,168 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 11.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,168 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,370 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
On Victoria Park Ave between Crescent Town Rd and Taylor Creek Trl, 382 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2019 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Donside Dr between Pitt Ave and Maybourne Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2011).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Donside Dr · Pitt Ave – Maybourne Ave · 127 m | May 2011 · 24 h | 418 | 31 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |
| Victoria Park Ave · Crescent Town Rd – Taylor Creek Trl · 382 m | May 2019 · 3 days | 15,311 | 50 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 km/h |
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.
