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 · Apr 25, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,066 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 564. Morning rush is the busier period: 644 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 381 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
