Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,899 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 769. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,013 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 783 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Cassandra Blvd between Dr. Daniel Hill Park Trl and Redwillow Dr (145 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Underhill Dr between Royal Doulton Dr and Beveridge Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2020).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Underhill Dr · Royal Doulton Dr – Beveridge Dr · 139 mNov 2020 · 3 days7,49238 km/h45 km/h50 km/h
Cassandra Blvd · Dr. Daniel Hill Park Trl – Redwillow Dr · 145 mOct 2023 · 24 h1,52937 km/h47 km/h52 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

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

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
