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 · Jun 25, 2019

The south leg carries the load — 7,997 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 6. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,346 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,348 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.6% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 2,346 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,348 from 5:00 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.

The City's counter on Cobalt St between Jane St and Sedan Ave (107 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h.
