Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 27, 1993
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,602 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 201 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,086 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,974 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 33 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1993, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 2,086 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,974 from 5:00 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 Islington Ave between The Westway and Fletcher Pl, 160 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Fletcher Pl between Aikenhead Rd and Stapleton Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Mar 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · The Westway – Fletcher Pl · 160 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 20,462 | 60 km/h | 69 km/h | 75 km/h |
| Fletcher Pl · Aikenhead Rd – Stapleton Dr · 194 m | Mar 2024 · 3 days | 317 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 54 km/h |
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.
