Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 26, 2024 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 16,393 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7,684. Most cyclists arrived from the west (74 of 113). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,147 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,906). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,906 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 4,147 from 2:30 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 (66 collisions), and 2025 closed with 32. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 34 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 24 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jul 10, 2024. 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.
