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 · Sep 27, 2007
The east leg carries the load — 10,956 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 206. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,226 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,432 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 3,226 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,432 from 4:30 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
2018 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 32% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 20, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 12, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
