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

On Maple Leaf Dr between Macleod St and Jay St, 53 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2024 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Cornelius Pkwy (353 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.
