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 · Dec 9, 2021
The north leg carries the load — 519 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 34. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 246 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 70% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (145). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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 2021, 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: 145 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 246 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 Salem Ave between Salem Parkette Trl and Shanly St (147 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Shanly St between Dovercourt Rd and Lane W of Dovercourt and N of Shanly measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Sep 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salem Ave · Salem Parkette Trl – Shanly St · 147 m | Nov 2019 · 2 days | 1,199 | 26 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 km/h |
| Shanly St · Dovercourt Rd – Lane W of Dovercourt and N of Shanly · 178 m | Sep 2025 · 7 days | 2,060 | 21 km/h | 29 km/h | 32 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.
