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 · Apr 6, 2022
The east leg carries the load — 238 westbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 61. Morning rush is the busier period: 119 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 92 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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: 119 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 92 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).

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 Bertha Ave between Donside Dr and Penaire St (251 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Florens Ave between Bertha Ave and Presley Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jul 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (292 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 48,990 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
