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 · Aug 29, 2005
The east leg carries the load — 589 westbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 252. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 245 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 257 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 245 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 257 from 4:45 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
2022 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 0% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Oct 2, 2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Waverley Rd between Queen St E and Norway Ave (250 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (316 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 182,634 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Waverley Road between Queen St E and Norway Ave (installed 2003), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
