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 · Nov 22, 2025 · weekend
The south leg carries the load — 4,533 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 434. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,038 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 81% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (574). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 574 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,038 from 2:15 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
2024 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 14, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 12, 2022.

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 Bellamy Rd N between Amarillo Dr and Braeburn Blvd (294 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 65 km/h. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Nelson St between Kinsmen Gt and Bellamy Rd N measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Jul 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Nelson St (91 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 25,511 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
