Montreal intersections with the most cyclist collisions

CBC reviewed Quebec auto insurance data to identify the Montreal intersections with the highest number of collisions involving cyclists between 2023 and 2025. The report focuses on locations where traffic patterns, turning movements, and bike lane designs appear to increase risk. The intersection of Gilford, StDenis and Villeneuve streets recorded the most collisions, followed by CôteSainteCatherine Road and Beloeil Avenue, StUrbain Street with President Kennedy Avenue and De Maisonneuve Boulevard, and StJacques Street with StAntoine West and De Courcelle streets. CBC said officials and cycling advocates pointed to issues such as drivers failing to yield, cars crossing bike lanes, and complex multileg intersections. The article also notes that Montreal is preparing a new bike plan and reviewing existing cycling infrastructure. Safety groups say thousands of intersections in the city can be considered hazardous based on traffic volume, speed, and vehicle mix, and they are urging planners to make changes before more serious collisions happen.
