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 · Sep 4, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 8,602 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,677. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,618 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,462 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

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.
