Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, 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 16,183 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

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. Jimmy Wisdom Way between Livingstone Ave and Belgravia Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Jan 2023). 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 129,542 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
