Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. 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 — 8-hour, Apr 2, 1987

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,698 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 69 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,264 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,876 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 39 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1987, 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.

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, 390 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
Victoria Park Ave · Greylawn Cres – Rowena Park Trl · 390 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

15 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
