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 23, 2010
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 582 vehicles entering from the east to 678 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 317 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (238). Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 238 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 317 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
2018 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% 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, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
