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 · Feb 8, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,413 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,810. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,513 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,617 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% 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: 1,513 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,617 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 Kipling Ave between Esther Lorrie Dr and Lakeland Dr (131 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.

At the school-zone speed sign on John Garland Blvd (324 m away, 40 km/h limit), 21% of the 93,363 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
