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 · May 30, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 551 southbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 433. Morning rush is the busier period: 281 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 218 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 281 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 218 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Covington Rd between Prince Charles Dr and Brookview Dr (60 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Brookview Dr between Covington Rd and Rondale Blvd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Covington Rd · Prince Charles Dr – Brookview Dr · 60 m | Mar 2012 · 24 h | 1,490 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Brookview Dr · Covington Rd – Rondale Blvd · 154 m | May 2023 · 3 days | 1,925 | 35 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 km/h |
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.
