Victoria Park & Parma

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 8,708 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 245. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,678 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,220). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,220 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,678 from 3:45 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

2018 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 27% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 12% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 6, 2025.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Feb 15, 2014.

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 2008

The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Galbraith Ave and Amsterdam Ave (211 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 18,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

11 registered buildings · 710 units · 3 social housing · tallest 11 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Victoria Village.
