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 · Mar 8, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 3,787 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 708. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,174 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,204 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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 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.
