Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 2,909 southbound vehicles, or 57% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 6. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 480 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (365). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

The City's counter on Pharmacy Ave between Huntingwood Dr and Sesame St (278 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
