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 · Sep 20, 2005
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 893 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 289. Morning rush is the busier period: 311 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 287 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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: 311 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 287 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).

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 Ormskirk Ave between Southport St and Ormskirk Crt (125 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Ripley Ave between South Kingsway and Ormskirk Ave measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Apr 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ormskirk Ave · Southport St – Ormskirk Crt · 125 m | Apr 2022 · 24 h | 2,151 | 34 km/h | 40 km/h | 44 km/h |
| Ripley Ave · South Kingsway – Ormskirk Ave · 164 m | Apr 2024 · 79 days | 876 | 21 km/h | 30 km/h | 35 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
