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 29, 2025 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 7,808 southbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 302. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,333 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,031). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,031 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,333 from 2:15 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 (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% 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, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 6, 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.
