How fast traffic moves here

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

On Mount Olive Dr between Overskate Crt and Scullion Crt, 132 m from the corner, a 2-day count in February 2019 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. Gihon Spring Dr between Gihon Spring Park Trl and Mount Olive Dr measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gihon Spring Dr (66 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 72,224 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
