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 17, 2013

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 6,690 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 450. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,076 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,123 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.9% 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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 Humber River Recreational Trl and Lanyard Rd (237 m away) recorded an average of 56 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 22,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Weston Rd (29 m away, 50 km/h limit), 14% of the 304,902 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
