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 · Dec 15, 2021

The east leg carries the load — 579 westbound vehicles, or 84% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 112. Morning rush is the busier period: 162 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 93 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

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

The City's counter on Chatham Ave between Lane 2 W of Greenwood and N of Chatham and Lane W of Greenwood and S of Chatham (208 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
