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 27, 2005

The south leg carries the load — 819 northbound vehicles, or 71% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 339. Morning rush is the busier period: 195 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 163 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

The City's counter on Belgravia Ave between Times Rd and Jimmy Wisdom Way (124 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Glenholme Ave (296 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 125,561 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
