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 · Mar 6, 2002
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 370 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 119. Morning rush is the busier period: 204 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 128 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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: 204 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 128 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).

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 St Mark's Rd between Watson Ave and Brookside Ave (51 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Watson Ave between St Mark's Rd and St John's Rd measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on St Marks Rd (38 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 12,254 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
