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 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. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Olive Dr (112 m away, 30 km/h limit), 4.5% of the 100,118 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
