Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 15, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 7,491 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 206. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,242 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,090 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 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.
