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 · Nov 4, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,341 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,486. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,910 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,729). Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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.
