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

On Caledonia Rd between Bowie Ave and Schell Ave, 310 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Castlefield Ave between Caledonia Rd and Kincort St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jul 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
