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 · Mar 24, 2024 · weekend
The south leg carries the load — 15,374 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,343. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,680 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 79% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,057). Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,057 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,680 from 2:15 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
2023 was the peak year (52 collisions), and 2025 closed with 46. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 69 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 29 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 13, 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 May 22, 2014.

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 2017
The City's counter on Esther Shiner Blvd between Provost Dr and Old Leslie St (386 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 24-hour count in August 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 11,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
