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 · Oct 27, 2020
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,647 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 150 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,459 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,177 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 13.4% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 2,177 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,459 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. 16 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 6, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Janet Blvd and Lawrence Ave E, 70 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day.
