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 · Jun 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 11,787 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 8,740. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,610 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,795 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,610 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,795 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.

By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #19 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.
