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 28, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,158 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 554 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,476 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,632 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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.

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 Six Point Rd and Cardigan Rd, 22 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2010 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Six Point Rd between Shawbridge Ave and Furrow Lane measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Jun 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Norseman St (333 m away, 30 km/h limit), 39% of the 17,409 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
