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 9, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 3,693 westbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 626. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 840 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (653). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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.
