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 · Mar 10, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,796 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 476. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,155 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (970). Trucks and buses were 11.3% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 970 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,155 from 5:00 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
2017 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 27% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 19, 2026.

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.
