Oakwood & Earlsdale (South)

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,257 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 306. Most cyclists arrived from the north (118 of 199). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,228 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,215 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,228 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,215 from 3:30 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.
