Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 16, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 8,870 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,001. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,030 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,729 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 2,030 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,729 from 3:00 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.
