Scarlett & Hill Garden

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,563 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 93. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,621 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,318). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,318 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,621 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Scarlett Rd between Mountbatten Rd and Lawrence Ave W (250 m away, Sep 2017) recorded volume only — about 9,452 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.
