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 · Nov 9, 2024 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,006 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 630. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,877 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,327). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,327 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,877 from 3:45 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 Albion Rd between Lund Ave and Riverdale Dr (146 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 22,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Calstock Dr between Allcroft Dr and Alhart Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
