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 · Apr 8, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 257 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5. Most cyclists arrived from the north (51 of 92). Morning rush is the busier period: 63 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 55 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 63 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 55 from 3:00 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.
