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 · Mar 22, 2022
The south leg carries the load — 4,795 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 34. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,634 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,634 from 4:15 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 Royal York Rd between Ashley Park Rd and Ashley Rd (43 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 2-day count in May 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 20,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Ashley Rd between Royal York Rd and The Kingsway measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2012).

| Royal York Rd · Ashley Park Rd – Ashley Rd · 43 m | May 2012 · 2 days | 20,757 | 48 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Ashley Rd · Royal York Rd – The Kingsway · 53 m | May 2012 · 2 days | 4,348 | 37 km/h | 43 km/h | 45 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.
