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 · Nov 30, 2016
The east leg carries the load — 8,722 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 416. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,957 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,900 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 2,957 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,900 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2013
The City's counter on Alamosa Dr between Finch Ave E and Appian Dr (87 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
