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 · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 6,133 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 312. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,075 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 128% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (912). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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: 912 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,075 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 18 collisions. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 21, 2013.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
The City's counter on Wilson Ave between Murray Rd and Cornelius Pkwy (365 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 31,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Garratt Blvd between Regent Rd and Katherine Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Jul 2011).
