Victoria Park & Surrey

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

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,302 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,667 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,352 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,542 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,542 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,352 from 4:00 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 worst year was 2024, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 24 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Aug 5, 2022.

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 Draycott Dr and Ruscica Dr, 309 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2018 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 78 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Surrey Ave between Inniswood Dr and Shandara Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 36 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,576 rental units, 2.4× the median for a Toronto intersection — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1710 Victoria Park Ave (78 m, 59 units, 4 storeys, built 1968), which scored 96 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

36 registered buildings · 2,576 units · 2 social housing · tallest 15 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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.
