Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2024
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 10,822 vehicles entering from the west to 12,358 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (148 of 358). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,071 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,286 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,071 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,286 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.
