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 · Feb 16, 2022
The west leg carries the load — 3,570 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 96. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,227 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,138 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 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: 1,227 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,138 from 4:30 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
2024 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 27, 2026.

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 Rushton Rd between Vaughan Rd and Windley Ave (46 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 5-day count in October 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Vaughan Rd between Winnett Ave and Atlas Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Jun 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Vaughan Rd (115 m away, 30 km/h limit), 43% of the 170,911 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Rushton Road between Valewood Ave and Vaughan Rd (installed 2002).
