Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 7, 2025
The west leg carries the load — 566 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 58. Morning rush is the busier period: 183 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 153 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 183 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 153 from 3:00 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 2012
The City's counter on Kirkwood Rd between Tullamore Dr and Leslie St (85 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Kirkwood Rd · Tullamore Dr – Leslie St · 85 m | May 2012 · 24 h | 651 | 28 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 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.
