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 · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,617 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 201. Most cyclists arrived from the south (62 of 121). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,465 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 55% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (944). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 944 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,465 from 3:15 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.
