Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 5, 2022 · weekend
The south leg carries the load — 3,003 northbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,652. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,035 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 123% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (914). 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 914 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,035 from 5:00 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
2017 was the peak year (51 collisions), and 2025 closed with 30. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 47 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Apr 24, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.
