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 · Oct 20, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 251 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 169. Morning rush is the busier period: 142 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 93 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 142 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 93 from 4:30 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2003
The City's counter on Prince Philip Blvd between Bournville Dr and Avonmore Sq (361 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Sylvan Ave between South Marine Dr and Prince Philip Blvd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2003).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sylvan Ave · South Marine Dr – Prince Philip Blvd · 29 m | Oct 2003 · 24 h | 1,308 | 35 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Prince Philip Blvd · Bournville Dr – Avonmore Sq · 361 m | Jun 2003 · 24 h | 2,290 | 41 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 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.
