The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 22, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 16,876 eastbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6,431. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,310 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (3,650). 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,650 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 4,310 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
2023 was the peak year (82 collisions), and 2025 closed with 55. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 50 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 59 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.
Of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jan 19, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 10.

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.
