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
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 19,877 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,147. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,403 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,908). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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: 2,908 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,403 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
The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Terraview Blvd and Victoria Pr N (227 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 54,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. York Mills Rd between Ness Dr and Rayoak Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
