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 · Nov 8, 2006
The east leg carries the load — 751 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 105. Morning rush is the busier period: 370 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 306 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 370 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 306 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2024 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 33% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions.

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 Plains Rd between Northbrook Rd and Athlone Rd (209 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. St Hubert Ave between Plains Rd and O'connor Dr measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Mar 2020) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Lesmount Ave (362 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.5% of the 13,818 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on St Hubert Avenue between O'Connor Dr and Plains Rd.
