Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 19, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,603 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 542. Most cyclists arrived from the west (58 of 86). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 386 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 114% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (180). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Garfella Dr between Bulbourne Rd and Stevenson Rd (174 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. Mount Olive Dr between Marchbank Crt and Smithfield Park Trl measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mt. Olive Dr (112 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.1% of the 106,795 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
