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 6, 2022
The west leg carries the load — 232 eastbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 71. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 114 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 44% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (79). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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: 79 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 114 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).

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 St Bedes Rd between Westbourne Ave and Bexhill Ave (41 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (307 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 48,990 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
