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 · Jul 25, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 8,709 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 32. Most cyclists arrived from the east (51 of 114). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,423 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,219). Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,219 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,423 from 5:30 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
2016 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 27% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 31 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 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.
