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 3, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 3,577 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 162. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 834 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (744). Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 744 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 834 from 5:15 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.
