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 · Jun 19, 1989
The south leg carries the load — 7,644 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 177. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,583 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,077). Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 37 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1989, 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: 2,077 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,583 from 4:30 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
2019 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% 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 Jun 15, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 22, 2015.

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.
