Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 24, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 11,068 westbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,943. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,664 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,092). Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 2 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.
