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 · Mar 6, 2017
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 13,947 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,037. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,224 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,432). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% 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 2017, 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: 3,432 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,224 from 4:00 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 (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 26% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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.
