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 · Oct 7, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 3,113 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 715. Morning rush is the busier period: 840 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 759 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 840 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 759 from 5:00 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.
