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 · Apr 21, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 101 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 74. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 47 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 47 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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.

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 Watson Ave between St Mark's Rd and St John's Rd (337 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Priscilla Ave (230 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.3% of the 6,966 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
