How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Rowntree Ave between Blackthorn Ave and Silverthorn Ave, 43 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2018 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. Silverthorn Ave between Rowntree Ave and Rogers Rd measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rogers Rd (379 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 181,812 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Silverthorn Avenue between Pryor Ave and Rowntree Ave.

Traffic calming

    4 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
