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 · Jun 1, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 10,904 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 468. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,138 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,258 from 4:00 p.m. 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 3,138 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,258 from 4:00 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 Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr (209 m away) recorded an average of 66 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. 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. Manse Rd between Stornoway Crt and Old Kingston Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
