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 · Dec 23, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,679 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 517. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,495 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (945). Trucks and buses were 11.5% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.
Peak hours: 945 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,495 from 4:15 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.
