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 · Nov 2, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 2,038 eastbound vehicles, or 59% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 211. Morning rush is the busier period: 384 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 308 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% 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.

Peak hours: 384 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 308 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 MacLeod St between Maple Leaf Dr and Rustic Rd (180 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rustic Rd between Blandorman Rd and Cornelius Pkwy measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Cornelius Pkwy (309 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.5% of the 6,137 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
