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 · Dec 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 1,893 westbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 54. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 303). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 360 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (283). Trucks and buses were 14.7% 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 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 283 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 360 from 7:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2020

The City's counter on Mill St between Trinity St and Cherry St (279 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h.
