Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 20, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,449 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 460. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,915 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,941 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,915 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,941 from 3:45 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
2017 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Feb 15, 2008.

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 2010
The City's counter on Warden Ave between Bowater Dr and Wardencourt Dr (92 m away) recorded an average of 59 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 23,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Bowater Dr – Wardencourt Dr · 92 m | Feb 2010 · 24 h | 23,047 | 59 km/h | 70 km/h | 77 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.
