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 · Oct 15, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 5,113 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 293. Most cyclists arrived from the south (32 of 68). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 964 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,036 from 2:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.0% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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.
