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 1, 2019
The north leg carries the load — 750 southbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 292. Morning rush is the busier period: 581 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 279 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 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: 581 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 279 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).

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 2012
The City's counter on Briar Hill Ave between Duplex Ave and Rosewell Ave (188 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Briar Hill Ave · Duplex Ave – Rosewell Ave · 188 m | Nov 2012 · 24 h | 1,732 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Rosewell Ave · Roselawn Ave – Castlefield Ave · 203 m | Sep 2011 · 24 h | 704 | 36 km/h | 44 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.
