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 · Sep 24, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 8,312 westbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,387. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,786 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,378). Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,378 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,786 from 4:45 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.
