Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 24, 2018

The west leg carries the load — 15,566 eastbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 11. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 153). Morning rush is the busier period: 4,535 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 3,717 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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.
