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 · Oct 13, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 143 eastbound vehicles, or 95% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 27 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 80% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (15). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
