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 · Oct 14, 2021
The south leg carries the load — 2,504 northbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 204. Most cyclists arrived from the north (58 of 136). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 509 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 534 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 509 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 534 from 4:00 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Swanwick Ave and Linton Ave (54 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h.
