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 2018

On Dartnell Ave between Lane N of Bridgman and E of Howland and Davenport Rd, 125 m from the corner, a 5-day count in August 2008 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bridgman Ave between Kendal Ave and Dartnell Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Mar 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Dartnell Avenue between Bridgman Ave and Davenport Rd.
