Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 11,894 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 781. Most cyclists arrived from the west (64 of 114). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,084 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 48% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,411). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,411 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,084 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2022 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 31% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Apr 1, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 Mossbank Dr between Caddy Dr and Par Ave (233 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Shoredale Dr (171 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,975 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
