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 · Jan 13, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 1,149 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 95. Morning rush is the busier period: 294 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 246 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 294 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 246 from 2:45 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 2017
The City's counter on Old Forest Hill Rd between Old Park Rd and Glenarden Rd (73 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 5-day count in November 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Glenarden Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Aldburn Rd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2017) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Old Forest Hill Road between Hilltop Rd and Glenarden Rd.
