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 · Dec 13, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,272 northbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 87. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 438 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (332). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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: 332 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 438 from 4:15 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

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 Torresdale Ave between Russfax Dr and Fisherville Rd (49 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 8,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockford Rd (320 m away, 30 km/h limit), 19% of the 60,701 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
