The Westway & Brampton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 31, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 4,794 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 287. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 965 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 921 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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: 965 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 921 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

2018 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 42% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Oct 27, 2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Brampton Rd between Gracey Blvd and Sunvale Dr (378 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. The Westway between Brampton Rd and Callowhill Dr measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on The Westway (86 m away, 40 km/h limit), 43% of the 127,951 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
