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 · Oct 19, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 9,827 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 648. Most cyclists arrived from the west (44 of 90). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,993 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 78% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,117). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,117 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,993 from 2:30 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
2019 was the peak year (22 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 40 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 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
