Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 251 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 219 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
How fast traffic moves here
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. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 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) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Oakwood Ave (174 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 31,596 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
