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 · Mar 30, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,293 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 186. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 402 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (369). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2011

The City's counter on Oriole Pkwy between Elwood Blvd and Roselawn Ave (95 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Roselawn Ave between Avenue Rd and Castle Knock Rd measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Nov 2011) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
