Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 7, 2022
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 2,686 vehicles entering from the north to 2,898 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (124 of 226). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 935 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (735). Trucks and buses were 7.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 735 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 935 from 4:45 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
2024 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 24, 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 Jan 11, 2015.

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 Riverdale Ave between Broadview Ave and Logan Ave (275 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bain Ave C (227 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 31,980 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Riverdale Avenue between Broadview Ave and Carlaw Ave (installed 2006).
