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 · Apr 23, 2015
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,301 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 341. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 989 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (861). Trucks and buses were 9.5% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 861 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 989 from 4:00 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
2019 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 0% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 16, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 17, 2009.

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 Old Weston Rd between Townsley St and Ed Clark Gdns (62 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 2-day count in June 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Osler St (221 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,141 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
