Oriole & College View

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 27, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 2,806 northbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 503. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 830 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 44% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (576). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 576 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 830 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).

2017 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 8% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from May 7, 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
