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 · Oct 1, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 10,164 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 245. Most cyclists arrived from the south (62 of 70). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,808 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,470). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,470 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,808 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 (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 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.
