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 · Jul 29, 2023 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 7,325 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 299. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,518 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 79% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,408). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,408 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,518 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 (72 collisions), and 2025 closed with 61. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 78 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 31% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 44 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 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.
