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 · May 28, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 17,953 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 328. Most cyclists arrived from the west (32 of 65). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,488 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,966). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,966 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,488 from 4:15 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.
