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 · Jan 26, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 4,082 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 121. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,376 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,130). Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 5 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: 1,130 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,376 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Wilson Ave between Saunders St and Belgrave Ave (55 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Wilson Ave (197 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.4% of the 44,009 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
