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 · Dec 18, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 5,695 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 202. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,770 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,454). Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,454 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,770 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).

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 Pharmacy Ave between Stellarton Rd and Clairlea Cres (133 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hollydene Rd between Camrose Cres and Evandale Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2012).

| Pharmacy Ave · Stellarton Rd – Clairlea Cres · 133 m | Nov 2022 · 24 h | 21,493 | 51 km/h | 59 km/h | 65 km/h |
| Hollydene Rd · Camrose Cres – Evandale Rd · 185 m | Nov 2012 · 24 h | 469 | 34 km/h | 45 km/h | 49 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.
