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 · Oct 18, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 6,816 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 316. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,034 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,093 from 7:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,034 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,093 from 7:00 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.
