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 26, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 250 westbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 146. Morning rush is the busier period: 199 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 82 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 199 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 82 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2023 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Mar 27, 2023.

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 Nash Dr between Bunnell Cres and Dorking Cres (160 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Gade Dr between Nash Dr and Ianhall Rd measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Apr 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Gade Dr (124 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.7% of the 15,291 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
