Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,256 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 1,030 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,194 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,445 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 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.
Peak hours: 1,445 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,194 from 4:00 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 2022
On Victoria Park Ave between Biscayne Blvd and Elvaston Dr, 69 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more.
