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 · Apr 30, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,151 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 740. Most cyclists arrived from the south (50 of 115). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 318 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 50% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (212). 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 is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 212 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 318 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
2016 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 75% of collisions.

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.
