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 · Jun 13, 2011
The south leg carries the load — 1,817 northbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 399. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,053 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 80% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (585). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 585 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,053 from 5:00 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 Rockford Rd between Renoak Dr and Torresdale Ave (46 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h.
