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 · Apr 22, 2017 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,086 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 6,037. Most cyclists arrived from the south (121 of 229). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,378 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,143). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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: 2,143 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,378 from 2:00 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
2019 was the peak year (20 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 7, 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 Oct 31, 2011. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.

The City's counter on Millwood Rd between Krawchuk Lane and Malcolm Rd (41 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h.
