Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 10,395 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,210. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,002 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,530). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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 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: 3,530 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,002 from 4:45 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 (37 collisions), and 2025 closed with 24. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 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.
