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 · Mar 24, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 5,661 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,374. Most cyclists arrived from the west (50 of 86). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,566 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,354). Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

Peak hours: 1,354 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,566 from 5:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2022

The City's counter on Front St E between Princess St and Berkeley St (293 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 7,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
