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 north leg carries the load — 6,487 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 378. Most cyclists arrived from the north (236 of 340). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,117 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (812). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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: 812 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,117 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
2024 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 7% of collisions here involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Apr 1, 2026.

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.
