Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 9, 2024 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 9,356 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,087. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,882 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,365). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,365 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,882 from 3:00 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
2018 was the peak year (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 4, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jun 30, 2025.

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.
