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 · Jun 1, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 3,164 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 246. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,068 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,065 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,068 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,065 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).

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 2008
The City's counter on Cherryhill Ave between Rodarick Dr and Holmcrest Trl (167 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherryhill Ave · Rodarick Dr – Holmcrest Trl · 167 m | Sep 2008 · 24 h | 638 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 52 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave E · Tredvalley Grv – Centennial Rd · 268 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 6,249 | — | — | — |
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.
