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 · Apr 19, 2018
The south leg carries the load — 1,048 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 280. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 526 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (401). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 401 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 526 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).

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 2018
The City's counter on Elm Rd between Felbrigg Ave and Haddington Ave (327 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Old Orchard Grv between Elm Rd and Avenue Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Orchard Grv · Elm Rd – Avenue Rd · 143 m | Sep 2018 · 3 days | 1,708 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 km/h |
| Elm Rd · Felbrigg Ave – Haddington Ave · 327 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 1,843 | 39 km/h | 46 km/h | 50 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.
