Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,139 westbound vehicles, or 74% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 160. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 275 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 69% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (163). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Cavell Ave between Blue Goose St and Lane E of Royal York and N of Stanley (99 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Stanley Ave (198 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 111,124 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
