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 · Feb 26, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 9,175 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 264. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,511 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,527 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,511 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,527 from 2:15 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.
