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 · Mar 22, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,149 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 663. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 514 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (419). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 419 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 514 from 4:45 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 4. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 14, 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 Sep 5, 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 2002
The City's counter on Kenneth Ave between Holmes Ave and Olive Ave (281 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 4,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kenneth Ave · Holmes Ave – Olive Ave · 281 m | Dec 2002 · 24 h | 4,812 | 42 km/h | 48 km/h | 54 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
