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 · Nov 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 9,005 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 241. Most cyclists arrived from the south (84 of 101). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,521 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 a.m. and 1,631 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,521 vehicles in the hour from 7:00 a.m. and 1,631 from 4:30 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.
