Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 13, 2021
The west leg carries the load — 143 eastbound vehicles, or 95% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 27 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 80% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (15). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 15 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 27 from 2:00 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
2024 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 100% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Jan 27, 2024.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
The City's counter on Argyle St between Givins St and Argyle Pl (152 m away) recorded an average of 17 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 28 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argyle St · Givins St – Argyle Pl · 152 m | Sep 2021 · 3 days | 470 | 17 km/h | 28 km/h | 38 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
