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 2, 2024 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 9,362 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,661. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,968 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,295). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,295 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,968 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
2017 was the peak year (34 collisions), and 2025 closed with 21. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 30 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 29, 2024. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
