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 · May 12, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 57 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 33. Most cyclists arrived from the west (33 of 57). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 24 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (19). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 19 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 24 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
2018 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 6% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 12, 2026.

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.
