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 · Dec 10, 2023 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 6,977 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 418. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,290 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 86% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,230). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,230 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,290 from 4:00 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 20 collisions. 26% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Dec 19, 2022.

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 Tams Rd between Bonspiel Dr and Morningside Ave (31 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 100 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Military Trl (254 m away, 40 km/h limit), 5.0% of the 29,234 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
