How fast traffic moves here

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

On Mortimer Ave between Woodycrest Ave and Dewhurst Blvd N, 254 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2000 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. Donlands Ave between Memorial Park Ave and Cosburn Ave measured slower: 47 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Jan 2020). The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Donlands Ave (147 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.6% of the 182,733 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 11, 2009.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner
