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 · May 29, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 933 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 475. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 212 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 215 from 3:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.8% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
