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 25, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 518 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 121. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 198 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (182). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 182 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 198 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.
