Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 29, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,338 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 360 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,632 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,632 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
