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 · Jun 10, 2009
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,061 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 106. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,498 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,163). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,163 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,498 from 5:00 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

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 Highbourne Rd between Chaplin Cres and Tranmer Ave (244 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Oriole Pkwy (302 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.7% of the 7,189 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Highbourne Road between Oxton Ave and Kilbarry Rd.
