Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 2, 2021

The east leg carries the load — 1,558 westbound vehicles, or 92% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 128. Morning rush is the busier period: 300 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 241 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on George St between Hillside Ave and Mimico Ave (120 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Mimico Ave between Station Rd and Elizabeth St measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Stanley Ave (242 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 111,124 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 3 speed humps slow traffic on George Street between Hillside Ave and Mimico Ave.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
