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 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 19,536 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 530. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 71). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,328 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,208 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months 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.
