How fast traffic moves here

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

On Lilywood Rd between Steven Ave and Times Rd, 137 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2007 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Danesbury Ave between Stayner Ave and Lilywood Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danesbury Ave (147 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 22,063 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
