Lansdowne & Rideau

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 22, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,691 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,381. Most cyclists arrived from the north (500 of 1,010). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 862 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (783). Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 783 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 862 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
