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 · Oct 15, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,739 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 10,501 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (60 of 147). Evening rush dominates here: 4,875 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 4,299 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 4,299 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,875 from 4:45 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.
