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 16, 2010
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,969 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,253. Morning rush is the busier period: 950 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 840 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 950 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 840 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2022
The City's counter on Brookbanks Dr between Underhill Dr and Overbank Cres (67 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brookbanks Dr · Underhill Dr – Overbank Cres · 67 m | Jul 2022 · 3 days | 2,578 | 41 km/h | 47 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Underhill Dr · Shawfield Cres – Cassandra Blvd · 213 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 7,097 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 48 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
