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 · Apr 30, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 1,894 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 430 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (394). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
