Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 22, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,206 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 467 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,843 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,453 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,453 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,843 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2011
On Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr, 395 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2011 put the average speed at 66 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · West Hill Dr – Orchard Park Dr · 395 m | Jun 2011 · 24 h | 36,143 | 66 km/h | 74 km/h | 80 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.
