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 · Nov 13, 2001
The south leg carries the load — 350 northbound vehicles, or 80% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 85. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 91 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 44% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (63). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 63 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 91 from 4:45 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
2018 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 20% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 20% of collisions here. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 2020.

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 Beaconsfield Ave between Lane N of Queen and E of Northcote and Lane S of Argyle and E of Northcote (392 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cross St between Beaconsfield Ave and Lane E of Gladstone and S of Collahie measured slower: 17 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 25 km/h (Dec 2021) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Gladstone Ave (163 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 65,280 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
