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 2, 2024 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 3,913 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 103. Most cyclists arrived from the south (39 of 65). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 832 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (506). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 506 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 832 from 2:30 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
2022 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 24% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 Brimley Rd between McCowan District Park Trl and Skagway Ave (377 m away) recorded an average of 65 km/h in its 4-day count in June 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 12,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Anson Ave between Nicolan Rd and Randall Cres measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Sep 2005). At the school-zone speed sign on Macduff Cres (177 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 10,032 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
