Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 5, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 10,261 northbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 644. Most cyclists arrived from the north (71 of 112). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,661 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,448). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on The East Mall between Gordon Park Dr and Redcar Ave (379 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 10,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on The East Mall (1/2) (73 m away, 30 km/h limit), 81% of the 169,321 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
