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 · Oct 14, 2021
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,410 vehicles entering from the south to 1,597 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (614 of 1,137). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 485 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (354). 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 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.
Peak hours: 354 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 485 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 2 collisions. 13% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 38% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Aug 4, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Shaw St between Harrison St and Fred Hamilton Playground Trl (387 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
