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 · May 29, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 1,651 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 107. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 423 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (362). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 362 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 423 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Grand Ave between Melrose St and Algoma St (48 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Melrose St between Milton St and Wesley St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Oct 2021).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Ave · Melrose St – Algoma St · 48 m | Nov 2022 · 3 days | 2,644 | 43 km/h | 52 km/h | 57 km/h |
| Melrose St · Milton St – Wesley St · 320 m | Oct 2021 · 3 days | 503 | 36 km/h | 46 km/h | 53 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.
