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 · Oct 22, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 9,678 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 796. Most cyclists arrived from the east (65 of 148). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,244 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,045). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
Peak hours: 2,045 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,244 from 4:45 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.
