Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 23, 2002

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,548 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 147. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,199 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,098). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Westwood Ave between Lane W of Donlands and S of Floyd and Donlands Ave (23 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Donlands Ave between Memorial Park Ave and Cosburn Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Donlands Ave (67 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.6% of the 178,529 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
