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 · Jun 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 11,514 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 805. Most cyclists arrived from the east (88 of 195). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,226 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,281 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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.
