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 · Jan 28, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 8,210 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 692. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,857 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,716). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,716 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,857 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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.
