Cassandra & Redwillow

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 29, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 329 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 46. Morning rush is the busier period: 189 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 125 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 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: 189 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 125 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).

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 Cassandra Blvd between Dr. Daniel Hill Park Trl and Redwillow Dr (108 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.
