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

On Westover Hill Rd between Ava Rd and Dewbourne Ave, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2014 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ava Rd (136 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 95,780 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Westover Hill Road between Dewbourne Ave and Eglinton Ave W.
