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 · Nov 30, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 4,903 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 961. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,978 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 63% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,211). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 1,211 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,978 from 5:00 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
2018 was the peak year (237 collisions), and 2025 closed with 199. 4% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 801 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 47% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 112 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 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 Nov 2, 2007.

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.
