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
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 8,574 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 729. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,594 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,090). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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: 1,090 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,594 from 4:45 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 13, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 14, 2017.

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.
