Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 18, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 12,242 northbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,955. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,621 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (3,306). Trucks and buses were 7.6% 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 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
