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 · Jun 26, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,278 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 110. Most cyclists arrived from the west (87 of 137). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,106 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,104 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 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.

The City's counter on Moore Ave between Pottery Rd and Mallory Cres (207 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h.
