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 10, 2022
The east leg carries the load — 2,155 westbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 342. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 785 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 837 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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: 785 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 837 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on McRae Dr between Field Ave and Trace Manes Park Trl (140 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rumsey Rd between Trace Manes Park Trl and McRae Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2009). At the school-zone speed sign on Bessborough Dr (270 m away, 30 km/h limit), 6.8% of the 21,739 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
