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 · Jan 15, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 392 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 181. Morning rush is the busier period: 231 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 152 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 231 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 152 from 2:45 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 (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 67% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2023.

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 Brookside Ave between St Mark's Rd and St John's Rd (90 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. St John's Rd between Willard Ave and Priscilla Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 36 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Brookside Ave (75 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 26,522 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
