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 19, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,249 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 393. Most cyclists arrived from the east (188 of 291). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,028 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,088 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
