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 9, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 4,243 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 745. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,577 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,565 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% 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: 1,577 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,565 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 The Kingsway between Oldham Rd and Kipling Ave (143 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 2-day count in January 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Longfield Rd between Stanthorpe Crt and Warrender Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Apr 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Strathburn Blvd (250 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 15,166 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
