Highview & Anneke

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 9, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 701 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 77. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 238 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (217). Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 217 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 238 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
