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 · Aug 11, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 718 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 9. Most cyclists arrived from the north (172 of 394). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 181 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 83% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (99). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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.
