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 — 8,799 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 217. Most cyclists arrived from the north (34 of 72). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,737 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 54% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,129). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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: 1,129 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,737 from 2:15 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
2019 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 27, 2008.

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 2019
The City's counter on Brimley Rd between Deerfield Rd and Largo Lane (290 m away) recorded an average of 59 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
