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 8, 2007

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 109 vehicles entering from the north to 120 from the east. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 80 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (64). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

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 Glenburn Ave between Peard Rd and Adair Rd (400 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Galbraith Ave between Barron Rd and Glenburn Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
