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 28, 1999

The north leg carries the load — 415 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 74. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 145 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (107). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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.

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 Elm Rd between Lane N of Bedford Park and W of Greer Rd and Woburn Ave (255 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. At the school-zone speed sign on Chatsworth Dr (289 m away, 30 km/h limit), 15% of the 7,959 vehicles logged in August 2025 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
