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 · Sep 26, 2017

The north leg carries the load — 344 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the north (34 of 81). Morning rush is the busier period: 163 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 94 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 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.

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 Coleman Ave between Coleman Park Trl and Lane W of Dawes and N of Coleman (180 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Barrington Ave between Balfour Ave and Doncaster Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2012) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Palmer St. (254 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 16,726 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Coleman Avenue between Dawes Rd and Barrington Ave (installed 2007).
