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 · Jul 30, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 864 southbound vehicles, or 71% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 16. Most cyclists arrived from the north (227 of 423). Morning rush is the busier period: 136 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 122 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 136 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 122 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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.
