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 · Mar 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,525 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 441. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 686 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 734 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 686 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 734 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).

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 Futura Dr between Grandravine Dr and Driftwood Ave (178 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Driftwood Ave between Futura Dr and Yorkwoods Gt measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Aug 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Grandravine Ave (162 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 43,169 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
