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 · Oct 7, 2008

The east leg carries the load — 7,611 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 274. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,599 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 2,310 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% 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 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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.

Peak hours: 2,599 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,310 from 5:00 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

2023 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

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 Dudley Ave between Byng Ave and Holmes Ave (300 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h.
