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 south leg carries the load — 9,388 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,033. Most cyclists arrived from the north (32 of 72). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,886 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,295). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% 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: 1,295 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,886 from 3:45 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 Brimley Rd between Pitfield Rd and Walkway S of Sheppard and W of Brimley (121 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 22,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pitfield Rd between Garden Park Ave and McDairmid Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jun 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Brimley Rd (98 m away, 50 km/h limit), 6.9% of the 160,905 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
