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 29, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,583 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,909. Most cyclists arrived from the west (34 of 79). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,195 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 64% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,336). Trucks and buses were 9.4% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,336 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,195 from 3:45 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.
