Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,090 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 156. Most cyclists arrived from the south (158 of 288). Morning rush is the busier period: 251 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 219 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Biggar Ave between Alberta Ave and Oakwood Ave (91 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Alberta Ave between Lt. John Roberts Kenmure Lane and Tyrrel Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Oakwood Ave (174 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 32,020 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner
