Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 6,547 southbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,723. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,263 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 214% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,357). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
Peak hours: 1,357 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 4,263 from 4:00 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.
