Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,442 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 8,939 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (64 of 143). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,048 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,310 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
