Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 5,175 eastbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 790. Most cyclists arrived from the west (70 of 149). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,684 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 84% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (915). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 915 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,684 from 4:45 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
2023 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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 2013
The City's counter on The Pond Rd between Shoreham Dr and Hoover Rd (209 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h.
