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 8, 2025 · weekend

The east leg carries the load — 16,499 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,943. Most cyclists arrived from the west (96 of 117). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,294 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,708). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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: 2,708 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,294 from 2:00 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

2019 was the peak year (122 collisions), and 2025 closed with 82. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 113 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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.
