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 · Apr 6, 2017
The north leg carries the load — 10,347 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 155. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,954 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,758 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 2,954 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,758 from 5:00 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
2019 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 4, 2026.

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 Cortleigh Blvd between Cortleigh Cres and Avenue Rd (115 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Avenue Rd between Castlefield Ave and St Clements Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cortleigh Blvd · Cortleigh Cres – Avenue Rd · 115 m | Mar 2011 · 24 h | 865 | 34 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Avenue Rd · Castlefield Ave – St Clements Ave · 357 m | Nov 2023 · 3 days | 28,064 | 31 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 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.
