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 · Dec 14, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 4,518 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 717. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,502 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,336). 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,336 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,502 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
2017 was the peak year (39 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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 Parkhurst Blvd between Bayview Ave and Donegall Dr (52 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cheston Rd (354 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. 10 speed humps slow traffic on Soudan Avenue between Mount Pleasant Rd and Bayview Ave.
