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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2012

On Markland Dr between Golf Valley Lane and Cherry Post Cres, 324 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2012 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
