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 · Jan 12, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 957 westbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 235 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 236 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 235 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 236 from 4:45 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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on South Dr between Sherbourne St N and Crescent Rd (324 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 3,421 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
