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 · Nov 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 10,261 northbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 644. Most cyclists arrived from the north (71 of 112). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,661 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,448). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,448 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,661 from 4:30 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% 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. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 21, 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.
