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 · May 10, 1999
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,820 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 212. Morning rush is the busier period: 965 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 883 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 965 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 883 from 4:30 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 Athlone Rd between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd (104 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cosburn Ave (318 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.8% of the 97,963 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Athlone Road between O'Connor Dr and Cosburn Ave.
