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 · Aug 11, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,546 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 6 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 214 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 211 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 214 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 211 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.
