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 2, 2021
The east leg carries the load — 522 westbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 312. Morning rush is the busier period: 392 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 279 from 2:00 p.m. 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: 392 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 279 from 2:00 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 Sharpecroft Blvd between Brookwell Park Trl and Dovehouse Ave (159 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dovehouse Ave between Keele St and Sharpecroft Blvd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2020). At the school-zone speed sign on Sharpecroft Blvd (84 m away, 30 km/h limit), 11% of the 35,003 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
