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

On Grand Ave between Algoma St and Manitoba St, 340 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2018 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dalesford Rd between Milton St and Winslow St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

Grand Ave · Algoma St – Manitoba St · 340 mSep 2018 · 24 h2,71346 km/h54 km/h60 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Pharmacies, hospital sites and care homes from the Ontario Ministry of Health's register — a hospital site may be a rehabilitation or specialty hospital without an emergency department; in an emergency call 911.
