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 · Sep 9, 2009
The west leg carries the load — 11,357 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 214. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,103 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (3,721). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 3,721 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 4,103 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 13 collisions. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 18, 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 Jan 22, 2014.

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 Payzac Ave between Dunera Ave and Emcarr Dr (146 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h.
