Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 8,878 northbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 896. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,056 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 45% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,415). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Southmead Rd and O'connor Dr (267 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 21,400 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on O'connor Dr (386 m away, 40 km/h limit), 13% of the 175,797 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

2019 was the peak year (22 collisions), and 2025 closed with 20. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 24, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 3. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
