Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend
The north leg carries the load — 8,615 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,177. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,676 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,216). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,216 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,676 from 2:30 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.
