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 · Dec 5, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,907 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 536. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,249 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,007). 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,007 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,249 from 4:30 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.
