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 · Jul 30, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 106 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 30. Morning rush is the busier period: 32 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 29 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.9% 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 2014, 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: 32 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 29 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
2024 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 7, 2024.

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 Rankin Cres between Erwin Krickhahn Park Trl and Paton Rd (39 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Paton Rd between Lane E of Lansdowne and N of Paton and Lansdowne Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 30 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rankin Cres · Erwin Krickhahn Park Trl – Paton Rd · 39 m | Jun 2017 · 3 days | 371 | 31 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |
| Paton Rd · Lane E of Lansdowne and N of Paton – Lansdowne Ave · 286 m | Sep 2026 · 3 days | 1,393 | 24 km/h | 30 km/h | 34 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.
