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 · Aug 25, 2017
The north leg carries the load — 2,540 southbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 720. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,231 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,174 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,231 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,174 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).

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 Cassandra Blvd between Underhill Dr and Avonwick Gt (197 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Underhill Dr between Shawfield Cres and Cassandra Blvd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Ranchdale Cres (355 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 6,395 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
