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 · Sep 20, 2023
The south leg carries the load — 1,195 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the south (271 of 654). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 293 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (252). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 252 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 293 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
2022 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 8, 2025.
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.
