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 · May 3, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 2,097 vehicles entering from the south to 2,274 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (95 of 205). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,032 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 987 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,032 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 987 from 5:00 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.
