Cyclists were 37.7% of vehicle volume, about 49× the typical share. Police have logged an average of 15 collisions a year here over 2016–2025 — 7.8 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 1.56× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 17%, from 84 in 2016–2020 to 70 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 154 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 9, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 6,953 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,078. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,604 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 1,651 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Beverley St between D'arcy St and Baldwin St (397 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 9,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St George St · Galbraith Rd – College St · 125 mApr 2010 · 3 days4,913
Beverley St · D'arcy St – Baldwin St · 397 mMar 2026 · 3 days9,58131 km/h39 km/h43 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
