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 east leg. The north leg carries the load — 12,286 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,501. Most cyclists arrived from the south (47 of 66). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,552 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,709). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,709 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,552 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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 Elmhurst Dr between Endicott Ave and Muncey Ave (201 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 6,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Golfdown Dr (200 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 33,354 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
