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 · Jul 18, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,259 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 262. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,091 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (837). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 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: 837 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,091 from 4:45 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.
