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 15, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 12,652 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,087. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,272 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,760). 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 was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,760 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,272 from 2:00 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
2024 was the peak year (24 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 33 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 7, 2015.

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.
