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 2, 2017
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 5,296 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 444. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,872 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,668). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,668 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,872 from 5:00 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
2021 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 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 Feb 17, 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 22, 2013.

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 2019
The City's counter on Kipling Ave between Esther Lorrie Dr and Lakeland Dr (323 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 21,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Esther Lorrie Dr between Milmink St and Jansusie Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Dec 2019).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Esther Lorrie Dr · Milmink St – Jansusie Rd · 215 m | Dec 2019 · 3 days | 738 | 43 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 km/h |
| Kipling Ave · Esther Lorrie Dr – Lakeland Dr · 323 m | Apr 2017 · 24 h | 21,225 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 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.
