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 · Jun 18, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 359 westbound vehicles, or 95% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 44 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 45 from 2:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 44 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 45 from 2:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2016 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Oct 25, 2025.

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 Havelock St between College St and Lindsey Ave (226 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dewson St between Bill Cameron Lane and Rusholme Rd measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Sep 2025). 3 speed humps slow traffic on Dewson Street between Havelock St and Dovercourt Rd.
