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 · Mar 4, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 275 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 205. Morning rush is the busier period: 121 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 107 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 121 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 107 from 4:45 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Locksley Ave between Ridelle Ave and Briar Hill Ave (269 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 24-hour count in July 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danesbury Ave (380 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,625 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Risa Boulevard between Dufferin St and Locksley Ave.
