Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · May 10, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 5,321 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 388. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,685 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,705 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 1,685 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,705 from 4:45 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.
