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 · Dec 15, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,397 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 259. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 406 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 436 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% 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 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: 406 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 436 from 4:45 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2018
The City's counter on Warden Ave between Parker Ave and Hollis Ave (160 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 16,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Freeman St between Kalmar Ave and Eastwood Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Dec 2017).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Parker Ave – Hollis Ave · 160 m | Sep 2018 · 2 days | 16,000 | 37 km/h | 45 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Freeman St · Kalmar Ave – Eastwood Ave · 325 m | Dec 2017 · 24 h | 732 | 31 km/h | 39 km/h | 43 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.
