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 · Apr 30, 2013

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,253 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 150. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 721 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (659). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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.
