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 · May 15, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,970 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 363. Most cyclists arrived from the east (77 of 155). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,179 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,015 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 1,179 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,015 from 4:30 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
The City's counter on Pape Ave between Canning Ave and Browning Ave (170 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 14,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pape Ave · Canning Ave – Browning Ave · 170 m | Aug 2017 · 3 days | 14,368 | 45 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 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.
