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 · Oct 19, 2016
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 560 vehicles entering from the west to 565 from the south. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 158 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (144). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 144 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 158 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
2019 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 8, 2021.

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.
