Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,146 of 1,147). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,148 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (3,375). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 3,375 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 4,148 from 5:45 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.
