Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 4,062 vehicles entering from the west to 4,960 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,893 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,846 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,893 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,846 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

2018 was the peak year (26 collisions), and 2025 closed with 14. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Apr 26, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Lawrence Ave W between Freemont Ave and Westona St (241 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 11,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Scarlett Rd between Lockheed Blvd and Braeburn Ave measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 60 km/h (Jul 2025).

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.
