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 · Nov 22, 2022
The west leg carries the load — 429 eastbound vehicles, or 71% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 172. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 96 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (72). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 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: 72 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 96 from 5:00 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
2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 14% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 43% 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 Feb 11, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Carroll St between Matilda St and Doris Anderson Crt (37 m away) recorded an average of 20 km/h in its 7-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 29 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (258 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 200,031 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Carroll Street between Dundas St E and Matilda St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
