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 · Feb 13, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,701 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 436. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,806 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,709 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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: 1,806 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,709 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
2024 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 50% of collisions here involved an injury. People walking or cycling were involved in 13% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 27, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 8, 2019.

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.
