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 30, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 16,166 eastbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9,009. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,942 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (3,324). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 2 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.
