Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 5, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 16,565 southbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 6,640. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,114 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,591). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 3,591 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,114 from 4:30 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
2018 was the peak year (63 collisions), and 2025 closed with 53. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 48 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 46 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 26, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on Progress Ave between Brimley Rd and Borough Dr (57 m away, Mar 2015) recorded volume only — about 10,692 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
