Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 10, 2022

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,696 vehicles entering from the south to 2,102 from the west. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,210 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,038). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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 2022, 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: 1,038 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,210 from 5:00 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

2016 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 30% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 28, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 16, 2014.

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 McRae Dr between Field Ave and Trace Manes Park Trl (135 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Millwood Rd between Macnaughton Rd and Bessborough Dr measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Bessborough Dr (340 m away, 30 km/h limit), 6.8% of the 21,739 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Speed sign

Bessborough Dr (northbound), 340 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 27 km/h, 85th percentile 36 km/h; 6.8% at 40 km/h or more. 21,739 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
