Davies and Hastings currently are designated collector
streets from Lougheed to Westwood, two sections of Davies
from Hastings to Raliegh and Fox to Westwood have been
upgraded to 10.5m pavement complete with curb and gutter.

Existing speed limit is 50 kmh for entire length, vehicle
usage is mixed as there is residential to the north of
Davies and light industrial for the full length south of
Davies.

For a number of years the Davies/Hastings route has been
used as a shortcut to bypass the congested intersection of
Westwood and Lougheed by traffic travelling west and east.
Average daily traffic volumes in 1987 were 2400 vpd compared
to 3900 vpd totals taken in 1992, the counts were taken at
the game Hastings location south of Lougheed. (see attached)
