Stephen & The Queensway

Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 15, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 16,223 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,380. Most cyclists arrived from the east (69 of 158). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,796 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,864 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,796 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,864 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2023 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 4, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 2021

The City's counter on The Queensway between Aldgate Ave and Park Lawn Rd (360 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 25,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
