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 · Oct 20, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 978 northbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 362. Most cyclists arrived from the south (190 of 399). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 301 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (269). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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 2021, 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.

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 Brock Ave between Chesley Ave and Lane 2 N of College and W of Brock (201 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h.
