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 19, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 13,459 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 438. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,760 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,426). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 3,426 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,760 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
2018 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 2026.

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.
