Coxwell & Hanson

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 3,301 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 650. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,228 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,132). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.

Peak hours: 1,132 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,228 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
