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 · Jun 16, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 708 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 85. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 146 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (129). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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.
Peak hours: 129 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 146 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.
