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 · Oct 15, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 1,559 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 8. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 399 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 40% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (284). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 284 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 399 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
2018 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 30% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 22, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
