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 · May 26, 2026

Peak hours: 1,526 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,585 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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
On Beecroft Rd between Dempsey Park Trl and Basil Hall Crt, 336 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in January 2014 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Churchill Ave between Johnson Farm Lane and Tamworth Rd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Sep 2013). At the school-zone speed sign on Beecroft (271 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 8,243 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
