Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 28, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 4,259 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 989. Most cyclists arrived from the north (370 of 799). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,551 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,349). Trucks and buses were 8.2% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
