Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 39 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 13 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 4.0 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions edged up 12%, from 60 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 127 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Horner Ave between Orianna Dr and Foch Ave, 183 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,700 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Orianna Drive (106 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 1,462 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
