Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 21, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,721 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 456. Most cyclists arrived from the south (38 of 74). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 878 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 863 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Kennard Ave between Wilmington Ave and Shaftesbury St (99 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. Wilmington Ave between Kennard Ave and Irving W. Chapley Park Trl measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Kennard Avenue between Wilmington Ave and Wilson Heights Blvd.

Traffic calming

    6 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
