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 4, 2017

The north leg carries the load — 3,339 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 117. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,017 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (896). Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 Weston Rd between Dora Spencer Rd and Sidney Belsey Cres (315 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h.
