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 · Nov 12, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,978 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 295. Most cyclists arrived from the south (42 of 61). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,816 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,623). Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,623 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,816 from 5:15 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.
