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 · Mar 10, 2015

The east leg carries the load — 321 westbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 213. Most cyclists arrived from the west (30 of 64). Morning rush is the busier period: 160 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 132 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 35.7% 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 12 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.

Peak hours: 160 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 132 from 4:45 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019
