Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 17, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 13,507 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,141. Most cyclists arrived from the south (75 of 136). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,315 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,344 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
