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 · Sep 9, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 12,262 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 183. Most cyclists arrived from the west (31 of 66). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,405 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,095). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,095 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,405 from 4:45 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 (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
The City's counter on Golfwood Hts between Madill St and Fairhaven Dr (305 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 2-day count in August 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
