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 · Nov 14, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 2,504 northbound vehicles, or 79% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2. Morning rush is the busier period: 410 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 332 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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.

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.
