Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at The Queensway & Islington Ave — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Islington & The Queensway, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 13, 2025 (a weekend day)
The south leg carries the load — 12,435 northbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9,580. Most cyclists arrived from the east (35 of 74). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,520 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 53% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,959). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
The City's counter on Islington Ave between Inverness Ave and Bradbrook Rd (206 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Queensway · Rothsay Ave – Islington Ave · 43 m | Sep 2012 · 3 days | 19,855 | — | — | — |
| Islington Ave · Inverness Ave – Bradbrook Rd · 206 m | Apr 2009 · 24 h | 28,353 | 53 km/h | 62 km/h | 67 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2018 was the peak year (86 collisions), and 2025 closed with 77. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 69 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 27 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 14.1 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 29, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 3. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #348 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Dec 29, 2024 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 22, 2024. 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 Stonegate-Queensway.
