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 · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend
The east leg carries the load — 8,234 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 432. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,329 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 176% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,206). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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 4 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: 1,206 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,329 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 (36 collisions), and 2025 closed with 24. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 44 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 19, 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 28, 2013.

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.
