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 · Jun 4, 2024
The east leg carries the load — 17,419 westbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,953. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,866 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (3,025). Trucks and buses were 8.0% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,025 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,866 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).

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 2021
The City's counter on Neilson Dr between Dundas St W and Rickshaw Ave (157 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 4,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
