Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 29, 2024
The south leg carries the load — 11,451 northbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 7,068. Most cyclists arrived from the west (41 of 80). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,294 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,379 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,294 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,379 from 5:15 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 2019
The City's counter on Islington Ave between The Westway and Fletcher Pl (160 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. 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.
