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 3, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 2,851 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 511. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 937 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 977 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 937 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 977 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 (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

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.
