Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 4,617 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,321. Most cyclists arrived from the west (713 of 1,664). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,633 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,365). Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
