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 · Apr 29, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 798 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 216 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (33 of 56). Evening rush dominates here: 256 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 233 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 233 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 256 from 3:15 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.
