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 · Oct 24, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,369 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 462. Most cyclists arrived from the north (111 of 197). Morning rush is the busier period: 467 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 429 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

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.
