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 15, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 7,858 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 119. Most cyclists arrived from the west (73 of 145). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,298 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,115). 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 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.
Peak hours: 2,115 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,298 from 5:00 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
2019 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 (277 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.

| The Queensway · Aldgate Ave – Park Lawn Rd · 277 m | Sep 2021 · 3 days | 24,979 | 48 km/h | 57 km/h | 61 km/h |
