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 · Jan 10, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,632 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 208 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,284 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,459 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 2,284 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,459 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2018
On Islington Ave between Inverness Ave and Bradbrook Rd, 14 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2009 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Inverness Ave between Rothsay Ave and Parker Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Jun 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Inverness Ave – Bradbrook Rd · 14 m | Apr 2009 · 24 h | 28,353 | 53 km/h | 62 km/h | 67 km/h |
| Inverness Ave · Rothsay Ave – Parker Ave · 126 m | Jun 2018 · 24 h | 797 | 37 km/h | 46 km/h | 52 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.
