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 · Feb 28, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,801 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 198. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,633 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,503 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
