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 · Jul 21, 1999
The south leg carries the load — 643 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 72. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 231 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (205). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 205 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 231 from 4:30 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
2019 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 71% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 25, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 2010
The City's counter on Elm Rd between Lane N of Bedford Park and W of Greer Rd and Woburn Ave (75 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elm Rd · Lane N of Bedford Park and W of Greer Rd – Woburn Ave · 75 m | Sep 2010 · 24 h | 3,568 | 30 km/h | 37 km/h | 40 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
