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 · Sep 26, 2007
The east leg carries the load — 371 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 10. Morning rush is the busier period: 222 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 146 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 222 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 146 from 4:00 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

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 Durant Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd (315 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h.
