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 · Nov 15, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,067 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 803. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 382 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 375 from 2:00 p.m. 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 is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 382 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 375 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).

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 2011

The City's counter on Park Rd between Rosedale Rd and Avondale Rd (357 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
