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 · Apr 2, 2013
The west leg carries the load — 552 eastbound vehicles, or 67% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 276. Most cyclists arrived from the west (130 of 183). Morning rush is the busier period: 138 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 109 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 15.1% 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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: 138 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 109 from 4:00 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
2023 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 63% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on Cecil St between Ross St and Huron St (48 m away, Mar 2013) recorded volume only — about 1,575 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
