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 11, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,754 northbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 311. Most cyclists arrived from the south (646 of 1,089). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,197 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,197 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
2020 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 11% of collisions here involved an injury. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 31, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 20, 2007.

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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on York St between Station St and University Ave (28 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 18,423 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
