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 · Nov 21, 2005
The east leg carries the load — 8,727 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 206. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,632 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,992). Trucks and buses were 15.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, not today's volume. 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: 1,992 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,632 from 4:00 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
2019 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 14, 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.
