Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 6, 2015

The south leg carries the load — 3,754 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 270. Most cyclists arrived from the north (33 of 69). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,278 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,097). Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,097 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,278 from 5:00 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.
