Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 24, 2018
The west leg carries the load — 15,566 eastbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 11. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 153). Morning rush is the busier period: 4,535 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 3,717 from 5:00 p.m. 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 9 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: 4,535 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,717 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
2022 was the peak year (36 collisions), and 2025 closed with 18. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 2 motorcyclists were among those hurt. All of them happened in darkness (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions do). The most recent was on Jul 26, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.
