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

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,054 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 844 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 956 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% 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: 956 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,215 from 2:00 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Victoria Park Ave between Pawnee Ave and Navaho Dr, 139 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2014 put the average speed at 65 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 73 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 79 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pawnee Ave between Cherokee Blvd and Apache Trl measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2006). At the school-zone speed sign on Chester Le Blvd (171 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 27,177 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
