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 · Mar 23, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,072 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 952. Most cyclists arrived from the south (44 of 101). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 793 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (531). Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 531 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 793 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
2023 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 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 Sep 13, 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.
