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 · May 23, 2019
The west leg carries the load — 4,865 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 130. Most cyclists arrived from the west (63 of 155). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,358 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,357 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.7% 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 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.
Peak hours: 1,358 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,357 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
