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 · Jan 31, 1990
The north leg carries the load — 3,739 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 393. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,194 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (955). Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 37 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1990, 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: 955 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,194 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 (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 43% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 23, 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 Apr 19, 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Victor Ave between Lane E of Logan and S of Victor and Lane W of Carlaw and N of Victor (101 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Langley Ave (97 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,876 vehicles logged in December 2025 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Victor Avenue between Broadview Ave and Carlaw Ave.
