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 · Jun 1, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,046 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 217. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 951 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 906 from 5:00 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 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 951 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 906 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2005
