The latest City count averages about 1,140 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, about the citywide median. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 5 vehicles — more walking than at most counted intersections, where the median is one per 13. That comes with about 16 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 9.7 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.96× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 24%, from 88 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 155 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Kipling Ave between Kipling Ave Bicycle Trl and Rowntree Rd, 171 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
