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 · May 6, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 2,072 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 884. Most cyclists arrived from the south (55 of 104). Morning rush is the busier period: 534 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 405 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 534 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 405 from 3:15 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.
