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 13, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 296 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 167. Morning rush is the busier period: 159 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 144 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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: 159 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 144 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
2020 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist.

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 Beresford Ave between Colbeck St and Beresford Park Trl (220 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Ardagh St between Willard Ave and Evans Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (111 m away, 40 km/h limit), 5.3% of the 108,092 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
