Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 19, 2024 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 9,277 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5,204. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,731 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 45% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,888). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,888 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,731 from 4:00 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
2017 was the peak year (60 collisions), and 2025 closed with 41. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 60 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 23 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 4 pedestrians were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Aug 17, 2023. 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.
