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 · Aug 19, 2026
The south leg carries the load — 6,310 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,066. Most cyclists arrived from the south (58 of 132). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,649 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 90% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (868). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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: 868 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,649 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).

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.
