Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,645 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 518. Most cyclists arrived from the north (143 of 300). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,182 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,089). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,089 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,182 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 Royal York Rd between Meadow Crest Rd and Edgemore Dr (74 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Edgemore Dr between Humbervale Blvd and Elsfield Rd measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jan 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Edgemore Drive between Prince Edward Dr S and Royal York Rd (installed 2025).
