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 · Jul 8, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 15,110 southbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 276. Most cyclists arrived from the south (70 of 136). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,121 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,285 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.8% 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 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,121 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,285 from 5:30 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.
