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 15, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 13,715 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 9,534. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,139 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,132). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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: 2,132 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,139 from 5:30 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
2018 was the peak year (59 collisions), and 2025 closed with 29. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 57 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 23, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
