Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 22, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 8,435 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 575. Most cyclists arrived from the north (63 of 130). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,730 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,368 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,730 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,368 from 5:45 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 15 collisions. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Aug 21, 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 Belsize Dr between Cheston Rd and Gresham Rd (143 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cheston Rd (231 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 7,712 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
