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 · Feb 28, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,713 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 340. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,301 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,251 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
Peak hours: 1,301 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,251 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Neilson Park Dr between Mourning Dove Cres and Blackbird Gt (210 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Neilson Rd (183 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 21,100 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
