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 · Nov 22, 2010

The north leg carries the load — 77 southbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 50. Morning rush is the busier period: 46 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 32 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.2% 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 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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.

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.
