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 23, 2024 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 8,688 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,433. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,075 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 67% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,240). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,240 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,075 from 2:00 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 64 collisions. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 123 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 55 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 28, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jan 28, 2015.

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 2020
The City's counter on Silver Star Blvd between 70 Silver Star Blvd and Kilcullen Castle Gt (270 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
