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 · Sep 29, 2015
The west leg carries the load — 987 eastbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 235. Morning rush is the busier period: 624 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 402 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 624 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 402 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2017 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 43% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 14% 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
The City's counter on Erie St between Rustic Rd and Grovedale Ave (80 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rustic Rd between Macleod St and Jay St measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2014).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erie St · Rustic Rd – Grovedale Ave · 80 m | Jun 2019 · 24 h | 2,129 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Rustic Rd · Macleod St – Jay St · 270 m | Sep 2014 · 24 h | 4,051 | 40 km/h | 47 km/h | 50 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.
