Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 27, 2024
The east leg carries the load — 4,923 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 71. Most cyclists arrived from the west (90 of 212). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 895 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (786). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 786 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 895 from 4:30 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 Mortimer Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Mortimer and Woodycrest Ave (306 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
