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 · Sep 20, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,782 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 372. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,897 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,942 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 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: 2,897 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,942 from 4:15 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Wilfred Ave between Byng Ave and Holmes Ave (297 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave E (388 m away, 30 km/h limit), 81% of the 14,415 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
