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 9, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,179 westbound vehicles, or 67% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 300. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 380 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (258). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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.

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
