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 · Nov 20, 1997
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,300 westbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 561. Morning rush is the busier period: 3,111 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 2,704 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 29 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1997, 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: 3,111 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,704 from 4:45 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 (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% 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 Jul 2, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jan 17, 2012.

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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Susan St between Windover Dr and Lawrence Ave E (79 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 46 km/h. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
