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 · Jun 25, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 2,461 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 68. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 714 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (520). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 520 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 714 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 (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 11, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
