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 · Oct 27, 2008

The north leg carries the load — 8,495 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 139. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,533 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,540 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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: 2,533 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,540 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

2017 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 6% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% 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, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2026.

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.
