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 · Feb 12, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,315 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 261. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,015 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (919). Trucks and buses were 9.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 919 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,015 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Kennedy Rd between Summer Dr and Foxridge Dr (97 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 2-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 72 km/h. That segment carries about 10,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Corvette Ave (394 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 40,767 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
