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 · Feb 28, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 3,251 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4. Most cyclists arrived from the south (66 of 163). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 620 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (531). Trucks and buses were 10.8% 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 3 years 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.

How fast traffic moves here
