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 · Jan 29, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 15,348 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,472. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,515 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (2,678). Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,678 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,515 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).

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.
