Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 12, 2026

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 11,785 vehicles entering from the south to 14,148 from the north.

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.
