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 20, 2020
The east leg carries the load — 434 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 95. Most cyclists arrived from the west (30 of 57). Morning rush is the busier period: 233 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 127 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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.
Peak hours: 233 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 127 from 4:00 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.
