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 · Oct 28, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,086 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 414 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,004 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 15% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,748). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

On Islington Ave between The Westway and Fletcher Pl, 287 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.
