Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 15, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 10,070 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 222. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,576 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,608 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
