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 3, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,268 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 327. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,332 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,066). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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: 2,066 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,332 from 4:30 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
2022 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 5, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 9, 2012.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
The City's counter on Milady Rd between Grenadine Crt and Firenza Dr (370 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
